Biography for State Representative Joe Tate PROFESSIONAL State Rep. Joe Tate is serving his second term representing Michigan’s 2 nd House District. Tate decided to run for this office as a part of his deep and lifelong commitment to public service.

And it was during his deployments where he learned the success of a mission is best accomplished by prioritizing the welfare of fellow troops and the community. As a teenager, Tate earned a scholarship to play football at Michigan State University before joining the National Football League. After the N.F.L., he went on to serve in the United States Marine Corps, deploying twice to Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom.
