LANSING - Leading law firm, Dykema Gossett PLLC, announced today that Andrew H. Doerr joined its Lansing office as Government Policy Advisor in the firm's Government Policy Practice Group. Doerr brings more than 15 years of lobbying, legislative and political experience.

Most recently Doerr served as Deputy Legislative Director for Secretary of State Ruth Johnson. Previously, he spent eight years serving as Senator Alan Sanborn's (R-Macomb) Chief of Staff, and five years as the Legislative and Political Director for the Michigan Credit Union League (MCUL).
