After much consideration, Drew Brockmeier announced his campaign for Great Lakes Senate in Detriot, Michigan citing his [[Image:Rally15_copy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Brockmeier at a rally in Michigan during his Senate campaign.]]desire to do more and serve his friends, family, and neighbors better. He had an early lead in the polls and ran a strong positive campaign for the first half. However his lead was cut in half due to misleading attacks from his opponent Angela Chiles, so he was forced to fight back. While pointing out his record of success, he also pointed out the outrageus claims of Chiles saying it was alright for people with chronic diseases to suffer. As the race headed towards a close, [[Image:Finalresultsmap08.jpg |thumb|right|100px|Final Results of 2008 Great Lakes Senate Race]]nearly all expected Brockmeier to pull out a win, yet the Republican Party and Chiles pulled what was called a 'dirty deal' and transfered in 12 million dollars to run misleading attack ads against Brockmeier. When the final results came in, Brockmeier held on to win Michigan, but by a lower margin than Chiles won Wisconsin, giving Chiles the Senate seat.

[[Image:Finalresultsmap08.jpg |thumb|right|100px|Final Results of 2012 Great Lakes Senate Race]]In late 2011, Brockmeier announced he intended to run in next year's Great Lakes Senate race for the the very seat he narrowly lost just four years prior. With Angela Chiles having retired, Brockmeier is largely expected to run against appointed Senator Jason Gillikin, who is running to fill the rest of the unexpired Chiles term. Brockmeier said Gillikin was a 'defender of status-quo' and that now is time for change. Brockmeier was able to close the 4 point gap, he came up just short on election night, losing by .1% of the vote

After having lost another close election to the Senate, opportunity struck when Senator Elizabeth Wellbourne was selected to fill the vacancy in the Heartlands Governor region with Andrew Merlin becoming Vice President. Governor Wellbourne called on Drew Brockmeier to fill the seat she had recently left. Brockmeier accepted, facing a firestorm of criticism and praise. Knowing the difficulty of the situation he was in, Brockmeier set out to prove himself.

-
He immediately began by introducing legislation to help turn things around for the Great Lakes. But he also took a step not taken by anyone before. Knowing he couldn't really represent the Great Lakes without hearing from the Great Lakes. Starting in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Drew started a Listening Tour of all of the 83 counties in Michigan. Just a few weeks later, Drew visited all 72 counties in Wisconsin. With the completion of that tour, Brockmeier became to first elected official to visit every county he represents.

Having won the special election in 2014 to fill out the remainder of the term, Brockmeier got to work passing major parts of his agenda.
