In his final report to the citizens of the 87th Michigan House district State Representative Mike Callton of Nashville said,  "For the past six years, it has been an honor and a pleasure to serve the local communities in the 87th District. As we end the sixth consecutive year of a Republican Majority in the state house, our efforts are producing a measurable track record. Michigan's personal income growth is now one of the strongest in the nation. This year, a record $14.2 billion dollars is being spent on K-12 education,  job and employment are up with 463,000 plus jobs gained.. The house approved plans to make government  more transparent and accountable. New tools to fight against opioid overdoses are in place.   A new threat alert system to more effectively inform and protect Michigan residents and more help for Michigan Veterans are also in place"

Under Michigan term limits Representative Calltons'  term ends this month.
