August 16, 2021

Former Congressman Paul Mitchell passed away yesterday due to cancer. He represented Michigan's Tenth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives for two terms, from 2017 until 2021.

Congressman John Moolenaar made the following statement on the passing of the former congressman:

"Today, I mourn the loss of my friend and colleague, and I offer my condolences to Paul's wife Sherry and their entire family. Paul and I competed against one another, but we also quickly became friends, and I will always be grateful for his friendship and service to our nation. He always stood up for his beliefs, especially as the leader of the School Choice Caucus, and he worked hard to do what was right for Michigan families. I am heartbroken by Paul's passing and know he will be greatly missed."
