Lowell, Zeeland congressmen named to new Biotechnology Legislative Caucus

As Michigan strives to grow its life sciences industry and generate modern employment opportunities, the state's leading life sciences trade association established a legislative arm with the goal of advancing biotech legislation that aims to make the state a national leader in medical research and development. The caucus consists of congressmen and senators from across the lower peninsula.

According to excerpts from the story:

MichBio, the statewide trade association for Michigan's life sciences industry, announced the formation of a new Biotechnology Legislative Caucus during its annual Expo & Conference being held in Lansing Oct. 16-17.

Hildenbrand (R-Lowell), Huizenga (R-Zeeland), Jones (D-Kalamazoo), and Warren (D-Ann Arbor), along with Sens. Hunter (D-Detroit), Richardville (R-Monroe), Stamas (R-Midland) and Whitmer (D-Lansing).
