Taking Action.
Delivering Results.
Hi, I’m Sam Steckloff!
Serving as your State Representative is the honor of my life. I’ve dedicated my career to showing up, doing the work, and fighting for Michigan families – not just talking about problems, but solving them.
Together, we’ve made real progress: protecting reproductive health care, standing up for workers, investing in our public schools, safeguarding our drinking water, and working to ease the cost pressures facing families across our state.
My commitment to this work comes from lived experience. I came of age during the Great Recession, started my adult life in a time of economic uncertainty, and at 31 faced a breast cancer diagnosis that brought the devastating shortcomings of our health care system into sharp focus. I’ve also lived the same pressures so many families feel: rising costs, stagnant wages, and the constant effort it takes just to stay afloat.
That’s why I ran for office in the first place: because government should work for the people it serves. Not some of us — all of us.
I’m running for re-election because there is still more to do, and I’m ready to keep doing the work. I bring experience, urgency, and a deep commitment to getting things done for our community.
Let’s keep going.
Notable Sponsored Passed Legislation
-
HB 4071 (PA 170 of 2023)
Oral Chemo Parity Bill. House Bill 4071 amended the Michigan Insurance Code to prohibit a health insurance policy from applying financial requirements to orally administered (by mouth) anticancer medications that are more restrictive than the requirements it applies to anticancer medications that are administered or injected intravenously (into a vein). As a breast cancer survivor myself, using oral chemo allowed me to keep my job and a semi-normal life. I am so proud of this bi-partisan supported legislation that has taken over a decade to become a law.

HB 5207 (PA 24 of 2024)
Michigan Family Protection Act (5207-5215). House Bill 5207 is one of several bills in the MFPA package passed in April of 2024 to protect children born via surrogacy. This package created the new “Assisted Reproduction & Surrogacy Act.” The new act would address issues related to the birth of a child by assisted reproduction, including under a surrogacy agreement, including legal presumptions concerning parentage, procedures and requirements for surrogacy agreements, legal venue and judicial responsibilities, and related issues. These laws are imperative to protect families and individuals who have children via surrogacy. There are a multitude of reasons why someone may have children through surrogacy and those families should be protected legally.

HB 4857 (PA 13 of 2024)
Exempted Milkweed as a Noxious weed. House Bill 4857 would amend section 2 of 1941 PA 359, which regulates the control and removal of certain noxious weeds by a city, village, or township, to exempt milkweed (any species of the genus Asclepias) from being considered a noxious weed under the act. Under the act, cities, villages, and townships are able to regulate growth of noxious weeds through local ordinance, and may appoint a noxious weeds commissioner who oversees control efforts of noxious weeds. This bill is important because we need to protect our pollinators from extinction.
