  • State Senator Richard Posthumus: a Profile
    State Senator Richard Posthumus: A Profile by David Kimball, Senior Consultant for Public Policy At age 40 Senator Dick Posthumus regularly is heralded as one of the brightest stars of Michigan's Republican Party. His star still is rising: The election that just gave Posthumus his third Senate term also propelled his close, longtime friend John Engler to the governorship, and in the Senate Republican caucus last week Posthumus won the majority leader's post, a position formerly held by Engler. Respected by his colleagues and widely considered a born politician with uncanny tactical instincts, Posthumus is unassumingly self-confident and wears an easy smile on a youthtd, untroubled countenance. He credits much of this interpemnal ease to the fact that he punctuates his time at the capitol with the daiIy commute to his AIto (near Grand Rapids) home where he grows cash crops on a 600-acre family farm. "You can get so deeply into politics that everything else becomes secondary and family life tends to be destroyed," he says. "When I first decided to xun I made a commitment that I was not going to let that happen-that my family was going to come first no matter what. One of the ways I accomplish that is by going home every night." Although Posthumus occasionally stays in Lansing after a late session, these exceptions are relatively rare. "When I get home, there are four kids dngaround hollering, and all of a sudden I'm back to reality. There's no lobbyist taking me out to dinner telling me what a great legislator I am." "I can honestly say," he muses, "that I could walk away from this job tomorrow-not without some feeling of loss-but with no regret.

  • Gerald R. Ford Oral History Project John Engler Interviewed by Richard Norton Smith January 27, 2010
    Gerald R. Ford Oral History Project John Engler Interviewed by Richard Norton Smith January 27, 2010 Smith: First of all, thank you so much for doing this. Engler: Well, thank you, I’m happy to sit down. Smith: I want to talk a little about you and your entry into the big ring, if you will. You were a leading member of this whole generation of Republican governors, conservative Republican governors, who nevertheless were seen as creative in their conservatism, as problem solvers. I don’t know whether pragmatists is a misnomer or a pejorative, but in any event I would have thought that would have been very, very much Gerald Ford’s style; very reflective of his approach as well. Tell us about your life before it crossed paths with President Ford. Engler: My first meeting with Gerald Ford that I can recall, where I actually had a chance to sit and talk with him, was when Elford [Al] Cederberg, one of his colleagues from the Congress, brought him to Mt. Pleasant, Michigan to speak to a little Lincoln Day dinner for Isabella County. It always struck me, the humility of the leader of the Republicans of the United States House of Representatives out on the road. And, of course, it was only later – I was a rookie state representative, it may have been my first or second term, so I’m in my early twenties in office – and I’m meeting this leader of the Republicans, who’s been in Congress a long time. I was born in ’48; so roughly at the time I was born, he goes there.
