LANSING, MI — Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer officially has a new director of the state Health and Human Services Department.
The Michigan Senate voted 18-16 yesterday to confirm Elizabeth Hertel, who has served in the role since the resignation of Robert Gordon. Several Republicans in the Senate were opposed to Hertel, but she received support from Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and three others.
Hertel was previously a House Republican policy staffer. She is the wife of Democratic State Senator Curtis Hertel.
