Mike Harris is a conservative,[1] Trumpist[2] American politician in the Republican Party serving as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives.
After living in California as a child, Harris moved to Michigan, where he eventually attended Mott Community College.
After the governor gave a speech highlighting her administration’s support for law enforcement as well as “criminal justice reforms [that] have helped hundreds of thousands of Michiganders who served their time secure jobs and housing with a clean slate,”[12] Harris accused Whitmer of failing to oppose “a radical, backward agenda from her own party.”[13] Harris currently serves as Michigan’s House Republican Whip[14] under House Minority leader Matt Hall.
[18] An opponent of firearm restrictions and red flag laws,[19] Harris claimed that “mental illness” is one of “the root causes of gun violence” and offered no evidence to support this claim, nor clarification regarding what form of mental illness he was referring to.
[21][22][23] Harris co-sponsored a bill to replace a statue of Lewis Cass with a statue of Coleman Young because Cass, as explained in the text of the bill, “played a prominent role in the implementation of President Andrew Jackson's Indian removal policy, was a proponent of allowing states and territories to permit slavery, and enslaved at least one person himself.”[24]
