After blazing the campaign trail this past year, Grand Valley State University alumnus Frank Foster was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives for the 107th District, scoring a victory for the Republican party.

A fourth generation citizen of Pellston, Mich., Foster graduated from GVSU in 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in business and finance.

“Frank was a great student leader, and I expect to see him perform at the same high level in the House of Representatives,” said Matt McLogan, vice president of university relations.

Among other GVSU graduates elected to Lansing are Lieutenant Governor-elect Brian Calley and State Representative-elect Thomas Hooker of Byron Center. State Representatives Jon Switalski (D-Roseville) and Bob Genetski (R-Saugatuck) were both re-elected to their second terms in the House, and Genetski seeks to become majority floor leader in the upcoming session.
