MEET THE CANDIDATES: Sarah Hubbard
Thank you for the opportunity to share a little about myself and my candidacy. This election season we must embrace every opportunity to connect with voters, given our inability to connect in person.
I grew up on a farm in Union City and was active in Republican politics from an early age. My father was a Branch County Commissioner and Union Township Supervisor. I have served as a precinct delegate since 1990, have been a delegate to the state convention often, and have attended several Republican National Conventions as part of the Michigan delegation.
I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan, Master of Public Administration from Western Michigan University, and Master of Business Administration from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
Since graduation I have focused much of my time staying active in leadership roles with various alumni organizations in the state including: Past President of the UM Alumnae Club of Lansing and UM Club of Lansing, Past Board Member of Alumni Association of the University of Michigan and the Alumnae Council of the University of Michigan, Life Member of the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan, National Service Citation - Alumnae Council of the University of Michigan, Past Participant and Planning Committee of the Wolverine Caucus, and attendee of UM Alumni Day in Lansing.
Professionally, I started my career as a legislative staffer, first for State Senator Nick Smith (R - Addison) and then State Representative Willis C. Bullard (R - Highland). I have spent considerable time on the campaign trail working to elect Republican candidates including as campaign manager for State Representative Bill Martin (R - Battle Creek) and Bill Schuette's U.S. Senate Campaign. I served as the Senior Vice-President of the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce and most recently, have been busy managing the small business I own, Lansing based government relations firm Acuitas, LLC.
My husband, David Murley and I met at the 1998 Ingham County GOP Convention.
I am running because I think there are significant issues facing our universities and threatening the world class status The University of Michigan has come to be known for. I am pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, and committed to protecting these rights on campus. Additionally, I am ready to have tough conversations about life on campus. Reopening safely, lowering tuition, and ensuring free speech is protected for everyone on campus are at the forefront of my platform.
I hope we get the opportunity to meet in person in the coming months. For more information, visit my website, hubbard4michigan.com or feel free to email me at
