Michael Markey is an entrepreneur, community leader, and lifelong Michigander running for Michigan’s 31st Senate District.

 

Michael started his first business when he was just 14 years old—a claw machine at a local restaurant. His early business ventures helped Michael pay his way through college, earning his bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Eastern Michigan University and his Master’s degree from Harvard University.

 

A financial advisor, Michael Markey has spent his career helping middle-class Michigan families prepare for retirement. With three locations in West Michigan, Legacy Financial Network plays a critical role in ensuring hardworking West Michigan families have the tools and resources they need to make sound financial decisions.

 

Embodying his entrepreneurial spirit, Michael owns and operates businesses across the country, providing jobs and investing in communities. He will bring that same entrepreneurial spirit to Lansing, where he will fight bloated government bureaucracy and work to ease the tax burden on hardworking West Michigan families.

 

Michael and his wife Vanessa have three children, who Mike says challenge and delight them every day. Michael and his family live in Grand Haven.
