The Michigan Senate and Senator Sam Singh (D-East Lansing) paid tribute this week to the late MLC founder, Tom Cleary, who passed away in February. Joining his family were MLC Partner Brendan Ringlever and Ann Spagnuolo, who recently retired from MLC after 38 years.
After years working in and around state government, in 1965 Tom opened the first multi-client lobbying firm in Lansing, Michigan Legislative Consultants. He started the firm with one client and continued to grow the firm throughout his thirty years as president. The tribute was offered in recognition of his decades of dedication and hard work, which helped shape the landscape of lobbying as it is today.
