About us
The Great Lakes State has another important distinction: being the first state to join the Union. Today The Office of the Governor of Michigan, head of the state's executive branch, oversees more than a dozen agencies and departments, as well as various boards, commissions, and councils. The governor, elected to a term of four years since the election – more... of 1966, is responsible for enacting laws passed by Michigan's bicameral legislature (consisting of the Senate and House of Representatives), upholding state judiciary rulings, and preparing the state's budget. Democrat Jennifer Granholm, the state's first female governor, was elected to her second term as Michigan's 47th governor in 2006. – less
