This week, Speaker-elect Tom Leonard (R-DeWitt Township) named Representative Laura Cox (R-Livonia) as House Appropriations Committee Chair for the upcoming legislative term. “Congratulations to Representative Cox!

She will bring those same qualities, and a diverse professional background, to the appropriations process while working to develop the state’s budget during her time serving as Chairwoman,” said Sean Mann of MLC. Representative Cox currently serves on the Appropriations Committee; she is chair of the Subcommittee on General Government and vice chair of the Subcommittee on Judiciary.
