Former State Senator Jack Welborn Dead at 88
Former State Senator Jack Welborn, a longtime conservative leader in Michigan politics has died. He was 88. Wellborn who was well known for his anti-tax, smaller government, and pro-life stands died overnight Sunday, March 7, 2021, at the home he built at the family farm on Riverview Drive north of Parchment. He was recently diagnosed with kidney failure and declined dialysis treatment. Many thought of Welborn as a Reagan Conservative, before Reagan was one.
The Cooper Township dairy farmer first entered politics in 1966 when he was elected Cooper Township Supervisor, unseating long-time incumbent Willard Doster. The story goes that the entrenched incumbent, Doster, was so mad about losing that he piled all of the township s official documents in a big stack in the middle of the room, leaving Welborn to sort it all out. And sort things out he did.
