LANSING, Mich. -- Republican State Representative Bradley Slagh says he is running for a fifth term in the Michigan House of Representatives.
He has served on the Appropriations Committee and currently chairs the Subcommittee for the Department of Corrections & Judicial Branch. Slagh recently co-authored a letter to the chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court, questioning the court's proposed rule to limit immigration arrests inside state courthouses. He calls them "sanctuary" buildings.
Slagh represents the 85th House district, which includes the cities of Hudsonville and Zeeland, and parts of Jamestown and Holland townships.
Here are more details extracted from his election campaign news release:
Slagh, first elected to the House in 2018, is seen as a principled conservative, having received accolades each session from the Conversative Political Action Committee for his voting record.
“I see my responsibility as a Representative to listen to those I serve and represent my district’s values,” Slagh said. “Whether that be holding district office hours each month or attending local meetings, my goal is to ensure that Ottawa County has a respected voice in Lansing.”
Since first being elected to this office, Slagh has served on the Appropriations Committee and numerous different Appropriations Subcommittees; he currently chairs the Subcommittee for the Department of Corrections and Judicial Branch. In his role as Chair of the budget for the Judiciary, he recently authored a letter, along with 11 of his colleagues, to the Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court, questioning the court’s proposed rule which would make our courthouses sanctuary buildings.
He has also been a leader on various policy initiatives, including amending how local speed limits are set, ensuring our electric grid remains reliable and assisting local taxpayers who own property.
“I am hopeful that the voters of Georgetown, Zeeland, Jamestown and Holland Townships, as well as the cities of Zeeland and Hudsonville, will entrust me to serve them through another term in the House of Representatives,” added Slagh. “I didn’t go to Lansing with a set list of goals I wanted to achieve, rather, my goal was to always be of service to those in my district.”
The primary election will be held on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, with the general election being held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
