Edward W. McBroom (born May 30, 1981) is a Republican member of the Michigan Senate, representing the 38th district since 2019. The district is twelve of Michigan's fifteen Upper Peninsula counties: Alger, Baraga, Delta, Dickinson, Gogebic, Houghton, Iron, Keweenaw, Marquette, Menominee, Ontonagon, and Schoolcraft. He is a former member of the Michigan House of Representatives, first elected in 2010 and re-elected to a second term in 2012 and a third term in 2014. His House district consisted of Dickinson, Delta, and Menominee counties.[1]

Business career

McGroom is a dairy farmer who lives in Vulcan, Michigan, in the state's Upper Peninsula.[2]

Political career

McBroom was elected to the Senate on November 6, 2018, succeeding term-limited incumbent Tom Casperson.

In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump, and won Michigan by more than 150,000 votes. Trump sought to subvert the election results and remain in power, in part by falsely claiming that he won Michigan.[3] Trump's lies was rejected by multiple courts and by the Michigan secretary of state.[3] As chair of the state's Oversight Committee, McBroom led an exhaustive investigation into the election in Michigan.[2] In June 2021, after an eight-month investigation, his committee issued a final report debunking Trump's claim of a "stolen" election.[3][2] Trump disparaged McBroom for the report.[3] Nevertheless, McBroom endorsed Trump's 2024 campaign for president.[3]

In 2022, McBroom introduced a resolution opposing proposals to designate four areas within the Ottawa National Forest (the Ehlco area, Trap Hills, Norwich Plains, and Sturgeon River Gorge) as protected federal wilderness areas.[4][5]

In 2023, McBroom voted against a clean-energy and climate change mitigation bill that created a requirement for electricity utilities to achieve a portfolio of 100% non-carbon-emitting energy by 2040 (with a requirement to achieve 50% by 2030–2034 and 80% by 2035. The bill passed the state Senate on a 20–18 party-line vote.[6]
