The middle of five children, Aric Nesbitt grew up on a six-generation family farm in West Michigan, paid his way through college, earned an Economics degree from Hillsdale College, and later, a Master’s in International Business. Aric represents West Michigan in the Senate, including portions of Allegan, Berrien, Kent & Van Buren Counties.
Aric helped strengthen Michigan’s economy and grow our population by working to eliminate over 2,000 government rules and regulations, lower the state’s debt by $20 billion, and reduce the tax burden. Aric led the charge against Governor Whitmer’s massive gas and small business tax hikes, crushing regulations, and reckless efforts to increase Michigan’s debt.
Senator Nesbitt has led the charge to ban sanctuary city policies, focus on teaching kids to read, stop the radical and costly Green New Deal scheme, and make Michigan more welcoming for families and small businesses.
Aric received the “Distinguished Alumnus” award from Hillsdale College for his work as a conservative reformer and continues to serve as a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-law enforcement leader.
Aric enjoys hunting, target shooting, and helping out on the farm. He is a member of Ducks Unlimited, Michigan Steelheaders, and a life member of the NRA.
Aric and his wife Trisha live near Lawton with their daughter Catherine and son William. His family still operates their family farm a few minutes down the road. Aric will fight for policies that will provide the freedom and opportunity for a seventh generation to take over that family farm and for Michigan families to pursue happiness as they see fit.
