Governor transmits dozens of appointments to Michigan Senate for confirmation
Summary
The governor submitted several nominations to boards and commissions, including the Michigan Bean Commission, Michigan Gaming Control Board, Manufactured Housing Commission and others; the submissions were read into the record and referred to committee as appropriate.
The Office of the Governor transmitted a slate of nominations to the Michigan Senate during the April 29, 2025 session. The secretary read the list into the record; many nominations were to state boards and commissions and will follow the Senate’s committee review process.
Appointments transmitted included nominees to the Michigan Bean Commission (Chris Krueger, Alan Fisher, Neil French, Mark Shaw); the Certificate of Need Commission (Karen Cheeseman, Tatiana Grant); the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board (Robert O'Meara); the Crime Victim Services Commission (Jeffrey Getting); the Michigan Board of Dietetics and Nutrition (Michelle Bugs, Emily Carmier, Lisonbee Bone, Bethany Thayer, Laura Cole, Lynette Maxey, Tina Guajardo, Tracy Booth, Rucha Modoc, Kimberly Dawn Wisdom, Brian Nader, Ryan Trotter, Arlen Daley); the Michigan Gaming Control Board (James Ananick); the Board of Health and Safety Compliance and Appeals (Kristen Walcott); the Manufactured Housing Commission (Kimberly Scott, Dominique Clemens, Jason Reid, Holly Hook, Bobby Meehan); the Organized Retail Crime Advisory Board (Shannon Simon); the Board of Professional Engineers (Stanley Opel, Nancy McClain, Paul Scribe, Dax Richer); the Michigan Veterans Facility Authority board of directors (David Henry); and the Michigan Wildlife Council (Jason Garvan, Franklin Hayes).
The transcript records the nominations being placed on the record and referred to committee as required by Senate rules; specific committee referrals were made as announced on the floor or will be scheduled by the appropriate committee chairs. For example, an auditor general report transmitted earlier in the session was referred to the Committee on Oversight. The transcript does not record confirmation votes on any of the listed nominees during this session.
The appointments were transmitted by the secretary on behalf of the governor’s office; the Senate will process each nomination through its standard committee-review and confirmation procedures.
