In November 2018, VerHeulen proposed a bill to limit the powers of an incoming Democratic administration in Michigan. In the 2018 elections, Democrats obtained the governor, secretary of state and attorney general posts; Democrats last held all three positions at the same time in 1990. The bill would give greater powers to the Michigan legislature, where the Republican Party holds a majority of seats. The bill would also shift oversight of the Michigan Campaign Finance Act away from the Secretary of State to a commission.^[3]
