Forty-five percent of MPLP alumni are serving or have served in an appointed or elected capacity: 92 individuals have been elected to city, village and township offices; 52 elected to county office; five who have served on a college or university board; 39 who have served on local school boards; 28 elected or appointed to offices in state government (27 total state representatives and one state senator); 31 who have served their local political party in leadership positions, and two who were elected chair of a Michigan Tribal Government. Notably, 14 MPLP graduates are now serving as members of the Michigan House of Representatives. ippsr.msu.edu/mplp/
