LANSING, MI –State Representative Angela Rigas (R-Caledonia) expressed her gratitude today to Speaker of the House Matt Hall for appointing her to critical oversight committees in the Michigan House of Representatives. Rigas has been named a Member of the Committee on Oversight, Chair of the Oversight Subcommittee on Weaponization of State Government, Vice Chair of the Oversight Subcommittee on Child Welfare System, and Member of the Committee on Regulatory Reform.

“I want to thank Speaker Hall for entrusting me with these crucial roles,” said Rigas. “I know firsthand what happens when the government is weaponized against its own citizens. In 2020, I was targeted simply for standing up for my rights, receiving a ticket for peacefully protesting and later facing an attempt by Attorney General Dana Nessel to strip me of my professional license. I fought back and won in court, but many others aren’t as fortunate. As Chair of the Oversight Subcommittee on the Weaponization of State Government, I will make sure no Michigander has to endure similar politically motivated attacks. The people deserve a government that serves them, not one that silences and punishes dissent.”

As Vice Chair of the Oversight Subcommittee on Child Welfare System, Rigas also vowed to be a voice for Michigan’s families, highlighting the urgent need for reform.

“Our Child Protective Services system is broken,” Rigas said. “Too many families have been torn apart by government overreach, while children who truly need help fall through the cracks. We must hold CPS accountable, ensure due process for families, and protect the most vulnerable among us.”

Rigas pledged to use her committee positions to fight for transparency, accountability, and the rights of Michigan citizens.

“I look forward to working with my colleagues to push for real reform, expose wrongdoing, and stand up for the people of Michigan,” Rigas said. “I ran for office to fight for our rights, and I won’t stop now.”
