Josh Schriver is an American politician from Michigan who has represented the 66th district in the Michigan House of Representatives since 2023.[1]

Career

[edit]

In January 2024, in a conversation about trans healthcare with several Republican legislators, Josh Schriver asked, "If we are going to stop this for anyone under 18, why not apply it for anyone over 18? It's harmful across the board and that's something we need to take into consideration in terms of the endgame." Michigan State Rep. Brad Paquette and Ohio State Rep. Gary Click expressed agreement with that sentiment.[2][3]

In February 2024, Schriver expressed his desire to ban birth control, saying, "If doctors are sworn to do no harm, then lawmakers should look into banning hormonal birth control."[4]

On February 6, 2024, Schriver retweeted a post by Jack Posobiec promoting the white nationalist Great Replacement conspiracy theory. Several Democratic lawmakers condemned Schriver's post, including Michigan House Speaker Joe Tate who described it as "blatantly racist" and "deeply and personally" offensive.[5] Michigan House Minority Leader Matt Hall did not respond to requests for comment.[6] As a result, on February 12, 2024, Speaker Joe Tate removed Schriver from his committee assignments and removed his office staff.[7]

On December 2, 2024, Schriver posted a tweet calling for the reinstatement of laws banning gay marriage and commented, "Make gay marriage illegal again. This is not remotely controversial, nor extreme."[8][9]
