A former state lawmaker from southwest Michigan has found a new job. Former state Senator Tonya Schuitmaker will start as the co-director of Michigan State University’s Michigan Political Leadership Program next year. MSU says the Michigan Political Leadership Program is housed within its Institute for Public Policy and Social Research. That specializes in policy education, political leadership and survey research. Schuitmaker served in both the Michigan House and Senate representing Van Buren County from 2004 to 2018. She’s also an MSU graduate. She says she is “so excited about sharing my legislative experience with MPLP Fellows and alumni.”
