In Lansing, State Rep. Parker Fairbairn has gone from "that kid from up north who beat Neil Friske" to a serious, respected power player who knows how to make moves---and get things done.

Fairbairn's strong effort leading the fight to get Northern Michigan and the UP much needed emergency relief funding after the historic ice storm in March was instrumental in winning over fellow legislators (as well as others) on a personal level who were still on the fence---and now, even Speaker Hall has taken notice.

Last week, Hall appointed Fairbairn to lead the House Republican Campaign Committee for the 2026 election, a high-profile position that will be extremely important in making sure Republicans hold the House next November.

Fairbairn, elected in 2024, lives in Harbor Springs, representing Charlevoix County and Emmet County, as well as portions of Cheboygan, Chippewa, and Mackinac counties.
