Michigan GOP leadership to meet on Mackinac. Only thing missing: GOP leaders

LANSING — One says he’s going camping. Another plans to prepare the family farm for fall harvest. A third cited a “previously scheduled” commitment. Others provided no excuse at all.

They're all Republican leaders in the Michigan Legislature, and they are all skipping the biennial leadership conference from the Michigan Republican Party this weekend on Mackinac Island.

As new party Chair Kristina Karamo prepares for the GOP’s biggest event of the year, the list of planned no-shows includes Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt, whose spokesperson cited a personal scheduling conflict he would not disclose, and House Minority Leader Matt Hall, whose office declined an explanation.

Republican Floor Leader Bryan Posthumus will “be on a family camping trip with his wife and kids,” a spokesperson said. Senate Minority Floor Leader Dan Lauwers told Bridge Michigan he has "too much going on this weekend on the farm."
