Standing Up For Northern Michigan
State Representative Neil Friske, born in Petoskey and raised near Charlevoix on the family farm, Friske Orchards, is a respected life-long resident of Northern Michigan. In 2022, the voters of the newly drawn 107th State House District elected Friske to represent them in the state legislature, where he is currently serving.
He graduated from Ellsworth High School and spent two-thirds of his life working on and running the family farm. For over a decade, Neil and his brother, Richard Jr., were second-generation partners in the family operation.
Friske also owns and operates a small business called Friske & Sons Property Management in Charlevoix. When he’s not hard at work, he spends as much time as possible with family. He has four grown sons and is a delighted Opa of seven beautiful grandchildren.
The Representative heartily enjoys serving and being a part of his community. Through his sons’ growing up years, he coached youth sports teams (Little League and basketball). He also trained and worked with summer travel teams and coached an adult women’s softball team. Beyond coaching, Friske has made church and faith a priority in his and his family’s lives: he served on a church board and led music in church.
To this day, Friske constantly and willingly gives his insight, time, and energy to his community, the state, the Republican Party, his church, and his fellow farmers and local business owners.
Together, We Can Make America Great – Again.
Truly great leaders lead with prayerful wisdom and humility, with a servant’s heart, with a listening ear, with transparency and dedication to those they are serving, with a formidable work ethic, and with an unrelenting conviction to uphold all people’s rights and freedoms. I will be such a leader – for you, for your families, for this beautiful state.
Together, we can put ourselves first – our children, our schools, our communities, our elderly, our veterans, our livelihoods. Together, we can be a voice for the voiceless – upholding the sanctity of life. Together, we can hold the line – against government overreach, against Big Corporation and Big Tech monopolies, against the loss of any and all freedoms. Together, we can make a difference – for our families, for our future, for our state, for everyone. Together, we can dream new dreams – and make them a reality. Together, by God’s grace, we can lead – boldly and relentlessly, with wisdom and conviction, with grace and humility.
Wishing all the kids, parents, teachers and staff a great day back to school! 🍎 ... See MoreSee Less
Governor Gretchen Whitmer, I heard a rumor that you want to be the President of the United States. This is not how the Commander In Chief runs the government, but you can fix this if you want to.
These are your employees. These Correctional Officers of the MDOC want you to hear their voices and fix the damn MDOC.

GOVERNOR WHITMER & DIRECTOR WASHINGTON: The Correctional Officers of the MDOC are desperate for your help, NOW. Not bandaid bills and social experiments.
Real help.

I’d like to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to those who supported me and worked tirelessly in my re-election efforts.
Unfortunately, we didn’t achieve the results we had all hoped for, but the people of the 107th have spoken, and now it falls upon us to accept the unfortunate outcome.
One of my colleagues sent me a simple yet meaningful note: “You will be missed in the legislature, not by most, but by those who understand how great a legislator you are.”
In Lansing, where conformity often overshadows conviction, I’ve made it my mission to stand firm on principles that matter—principles that I feel are essential to conservatives. It’s not about seeking approval or popularity; rather embodying integrity and serving the people of the 107th District with purpose amidst an environment rife with compromise.
It is evident that God has a different plan for my life. Therefore, I look forward with anticipation to following His leading down whatever path he puts before me. Thank you to my family and supporters who stood by my side during this tough race and continue to lift me up during this time. ... See MoreSee Less

Governor Whitmer: The people working in the Michigan Department of Corrections facilities are demanding your attention.
—————————————-
The statics being reported about the Michigan Department of Corrections are misleading at best. It’s time to show the REAL numbers and hear the REAL voices that have to endure this dangerous job which is at a critical point.
As your State Representative in Northern Michigan, I’m going to bring your voice to Lansing in a whole new way.
👉I ask you to please get out and VOTE THIS TUESDAY to keep me in this fight! ... See MoreSee Less

Michigan Correctional Officers are in real danger on the job, and for far too long, the MDOC and Governor have ignored their pleas for help!
I’m demanding this Emergency Order because I don’t want to see children in my district lose a parent.
Between assaults on officers, barely any time off to be with their families and having to drive over the bridge just to see a doctor, we are bleeding Correctional Officers because the state is not treating them right, and they need help NOW.
If something isn’t done IMMEDIATELY, I’m afraid of the threats to public safety.
Instead of fixing this serious problem, our state leadership is too busy changing policy to allow cosmetics for transgenders prisoners. You can’t make this stuff up! ... See MoreSee Less
I had the pleasure of meeting MI National Guard member Tim Wilson who entered his truck into my Truck Rally this past weekend.
He was deployed to the #southernborder to support our US Border Patrol during the Trump administration, and says over 260,000 illegals entered into the country during his time down there.
I have called on the Governor to deploy the National Guard to help with the worsening crisis.
Thank you, Tim, and all our National Guard members and Border Patrol for your service! 🇺🇸 ... See MoreSee Less
