Josh Schriver is an American politician from Michigan who has represented the 66th district in the Michigan House of Representatives since the 2022 election. [1]
In January 2024, in a conversation about trans healthcare with several Republican legislators, Josh Schriver asked, "If we are going to stop this for anyone under 18, why not apply it for anyone over 18? It’s harmful across the board and that’s something we need to take into consideration in terms of the endgame." Michigan State Rep. Brad Paquette and Ohio State Rep. Gary Click expressed agreement with that sentiment. [2] [3]
On February 6, 2024, Schriver retweeted a post by Jack Posobiec promoting the white nationalist Great Replacement conspiracy theory. Several Democratic lawmakers condemned Schriver's post, including Michigan House Speaker Joe Tate who described it as "blatantly racist" and "deeply and personally" offensive.

As a result, on February 12, 2024, Speaker Joe Tate removed Schriver from his committee assignments and removed his office staff. [6]
