State Representative Rob VerHeulen is a lifelong Michigan resident. He has worked as an attorney for Meijer, Inc. and the Meijer Foundation, served as mayor of the City of Walker, and currently represents the 74th district as a Republican in Lansing. And he says, as chair of the transportation subcommittee, that the time is right for serious investments in Michigan’s transit systems.

Unsurprisingly, then, he’s also passionate about the importance of quality public education in Michigan. “It’s critically important that we provide a quality education for all of our young people,” he says.
