AMANDA LOVE
Amanda Love is a principled leader with two decades of hands-on experience in Michigan’s public and political arenas. From the legislative halls to the campaign trail, Amanda has built a reputation for operational excellence, transparency, and service to the people.
Born and raised in Michigan, Amanda graduated from Saline High School before earning her BA in Public Policy from Western Michigan University.
Her career in public service began as an assistant to Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land, where she learned the inner workings of state government and the importance of a responsive, citizen-focused administration. She later served as Legislative Director for two State Representatives, managing their Lansing offices, and as Legal Secretary for Attorney General Bill Schuette's office, where she supported attorneys, drafted key legal documents, and kept operations running efficiently and on budget.
Love has since led numerous high profile campaigns to victory with grit and grace, before winning elected office to the Clarkston Community Schools Board of Education. Amanda champions policies that put students and families first. She serves on the Policy Committee, chairs the Transportation Committee, and helps set the district’s curriculum on the Teaching and Learning Council. Love’s fierce advocacy for children and families extends well beyond the boardroom, however. She knows first hand what it takes to mother a child with special needs and to be a foster mother to disadvantaged children.
Most recently, she has served as Field Director for the House Republican Campaign Committee and as Oakland County Regional Service Advisor for the House Republican Caucus. In these roles, she has provided real-time legislative updates, coordinated extensive citizen outreach, and represented the Oakland delegation and the House Speaker at local government, business, and community meetings.
Amanda lives in Independence Township with her husband and 5 children.
