State Rep. Bob Bezotte, R-Marion Township, will not run for re-election in the 50th District.
Bezotte, 73, was first elected to the state House in 2020. Under new term limits approved by voters in 2022, legislators can serve a total of 12 combined years in the Michigan House and Senate, making Bezotte eligible to serve for eight more years.
Bezotte is currently involved in divorce proceedings with his wife of 51 years, who claimed in her Nov. 30 divorce filing that she has suffered “mental, emotional and physical abuse throughout the marriage,” but did not elaborate further. Bezotte denied her claims in his response.
Bezotte, a two-term Republican state legislator, previously served on the Livingston County Board of Commissioners for four years, and as Livingston County’s sheriff for nearly 12 years.
The 50th House District includes the city of Howell and the village of Fowlerville, plus the townships of Cohoctah, Conway, Deerfield, Handy, Hartland, Howell, Iosco, Marion, Oceola, Unadilla, southern Tyrone Township, and the north and west parts of Putnam Township.
