Congressman Fred Upton represents the commonsense values of southwest Michigan with a district that stretches from the shores of Lake Michigan and includes key industries that range from automobile parts manufacturing to high-tech biomedical innovation centers. In 2010, Fred was selected by his House colleagues to serve as Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Prior to his election to Congress, Fred worked for President Ronald Reagan in the Office of Management and Budget. While at OMB, he learned from President Reagan’s example that it does not matter who gets the credit, as long as the job gets done.
