Governor Gretchen Whitmer has appointed Patti Tremblay to the 30th Circuit Court in Ingham County. Judge Tremblay’s term will commence on March 3, 2025, and expire at noon on January 1, 2027. This appointment fills a partial term following the resignation of Judge Joyce Draganchuk.
“Patti has been an instrumental member of my team and will bring decades of experience to the Ingham County Circuit Court,” said Governor Whitmer. “As a trained lawyer who has served in both the executive and legislative branches, I know Patti will treat every case with dignity and respect and bring a deep sense of empathy to the bench.”
Tremblay is the outgoing Director of Legislative Affairs for the Executive Office of the Governor, where she also previously served as a deputy legal counsel and deputy director of legislative affairs. Prior to her time in the executive office, Tremblay worked in the Michigan House of Representatives for nearly two decades and served in many different roles during her tenure, including Chief Legal Counsel.
Tremblay holds a Bachelor of Arts from Michigan State University and a Juris Doctor from the Michigan State University College of Law.
“I am deeply honored to be appointed to serve on the 30th Circuit Court in Ingham County,” said Tremblay. “It has been a privilege to work alongside of Governor Whitmer and serve the people of Michigan as the Director of Legislative Affairs. I am excited to bring my passion for justice, commitment to fairness, and dedication to public service to the bench. I look forward to serving the community in this new capacity with integrity and respect for the law.”
“I have known Patti Tremblay as someone who has succeeded for Michigan residents in the Legislature, as an advocate, and as a trusted leader in Governor Whitmer’s office,” said City of Lansing Mayor Andy Schor. “She has incredible integrity, and a passion and love for our state. Patti will be fair to all, and a tremendous champion for the families of Lansing and Ingham County. Her passion and hard work have made a lasting impact, and we are excited to see all she will continue to accomplish in this next chapter.”
