Governor Whitmer Statement on the Passing of State Rep. Andrea Schroeder
LANSING, Mich. - Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued the following statement on the passing of State Representative Andrea Schroeder, who served Michigan's 43rd House District in parts of Oakland County.
"I am saddened to learn of Rep. Andrea Schroeder's passing this afternoon after a courageous battle with cancer. She was a lifelong public servant, having served northern Oakland County in the state House since 2019, six years on the Independence Township Board of Trustees, and on countless school and community groups. Rep. Schroeder will be remembered for her relentless dedication to the people she represented. My heart goes out to her husband and three children and all those who knew her as they grieve during this difficult time."
