MCUL FEDERAL LAWMAKER
AND STAFFER OF THE YEAR

LAWMAKER

U.S. Rep. Mike Bishop (R-8th) was named MCUL’s 2017 Federal Law-
maker of the Year. Bishop is serving his second term in Congress and
has voted on several issues important to credit unions, including the
Financial CHOICE Act of 2017. Bishop also co-sponsored legislation
that would exempt credit unions from CFPB oversight. Since his time
in the state legislature, he has been a strong and steadfast supporter
of credit unions. He recognizes the importance of the credit union
not-for-profit tax status and has consistently made time to personally
meet with credit union leaders in Washington, D.C. and in Michigan.

STAFFER

MCUL has named Alison Share as 2017 Federal Staffer of the Year.
Share currently works for U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Flint Township),
Michigan’s 5th District representative. Kildee was elected Vice Rank-
ing Member of the House Financial Services Committee in 2017. As
legislative director, Share provides research and policy support on a
variety of topics, including financial services. She is an exceptional
study, keeping track of the policy and political implications of activi-
ties within the Committee. Share is a staffer who hears all sides of
issues before making recommendations to Kildee. She consistently
makes time for in-district meetings or conference calls with MCUL
staff to discuss issues important to Michigan credit unions.
