Early life, education, and legal career

In 2017, he moved from Ypsilanti to Hillsdale, where he ran a satellite office of his family's law firm, Fink and Fink, PLLC.[3] He was district director for Mike Shirkey, a Republican member of the Michigan State Senate and the Senate Majority Leader,[2][3] from January 2019 to January 2020.[3] Fink is a member of the Federalist Society and was a commissioner-at-large for the State Bar of Michigan.[2]
Political career
In the 2020 Republican primary for the Michigan House of Representatives, District 58,[4] Fink ran against farmer Andy Welden, realtor Daren Wiseley, and Hillsdale Mayor Adam Stockford.[5] The district covers Hillsdale County and Branch; incumbent Eric Leutheuser could not run for reelection due to term limits.[6] Of the 16,881 total votes in the August 2020 Republican primary, Fink received 6,520 votes (38.62%), Welden 4,310 votes (25.53%); Wiseley 3,126 votes (18.52%), and Stockford 2,925 votes (17.33%).[4]
During his 2020 campaign, Fink took the position that Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Michigan were unconstitutional.[7] His primary campaign was supported by Citizens for Energizing Michigan's Economy (CEME), a 501(c)(4) "dark money" group related to Consumers Energy, which ran several mailers and ads in favor of Fink.[7][8]
In the general election, Fink faced Democratic nominee Tamara Barnes of Coldwater, a director of the Kalamazoo Valley Museum.[9][10] Fink won 71.22% of the vote (30,208 votes) and Barnes 28.78% of the vote (12,208 votes).[11]
Upon taking office,[12][13] Fink was assigned to the House Appropriations, Military and Veterans Affairs and State Police; and Health Policy committees.[2]
After redistricting, in 2022, Fink was elected to the 35th district.[14]
In September 2023, Fink announced his candidacy for the Michigan Supreme Court.[15]

Fink lives in Adams Township. He is married to Lauren Grover[16] and has five children.[2]
