Republican Michigan State Sen. Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt took a stand against Sharia law Wednesday by introducing a resolution reaffirming his chamber’s “commitment to the supremacy of the U.S. and Michigan constitutions.”
The Michigan State Senate’s Democrat majority did not vote on the resolution, but referred it to another committee, according to a press release from Nesbitt’s office. Nesbitt, who is running for governor of the swing state, posted a videoon X explaining the events of the day, captioning the video, “[t]he State of Michigan will never recognize, endorse, or enforce Sharia law.”
“The state of Michigan has a compelling interest in shielding its citizens from the imposition of any legal code, ideology, or foreign influence that undermines American principles of constitutional supremacy and individual liberty,” the resolution states.

“In America, we have one Constitution and set of laws. It’s shameful that as we approach our Nation’s 250th birthday, Democrats in Michigan aren’t willing to affirm that basic fact. I can assure you that as Michigan’s next Governor, I will defend our Constitution and ensure we never recognize, endorse or enforce Sharia law in this state,” Nesbitt told the DCNF in a statement.
Michigan has a large population of Muslim residents. Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit, is America’s largest Arab-majority city. Dearborn has a Muslim mayor, Abdullah H. Hammoud, and is home to the nation’s largest mosque.
