Aric Nesbitt, Michigan State Senator from 20th District | Official Website
Senator Aric Nesbitt, a Republican member of the Michigan Senate, recently used his social media platform to criticize state leadership and legislative inaction on several issues.
On July 13, 2025, Nesbitt posted: "Michigan wants to know: https://t.co/BgndnnCGj4 https://t.co/ukuXkxo7Ph".
Two days later, on July 15, 2025, he accused Governor Gretchen Whitmer of favoring her associates with significant grants while increasing costs for residents. He wrote: "Gretchen Whitmer has no problem giving her friends $20 million dollar grants but she wants YOU to pay more to use our state parks. https://t.co/hAeqV8e8i7".
On July 16, 2025, Nesbitt addressed concerns about foreign involvement in Michigan's higher education system. He stated: "Yet Michigan Democrats still refuse to pass legislation banning foreign influence from our universities. Do they want this to keep happening? https://t.co/nsF608gCYG".
Nesbitt’s comments come amid ongoing debates in Michigan over the allocation of public funds and the role of foreign entities in state institutions. The question of grant distribution has been a contentious issue in recent years as lawmakers have scrutinized how state resources are awarded and who benefits from them. Additionally, concerns about foreign influence at universities reflect broader national conversations regarding transparency and oversight within higher education governance.
