About
The Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy was established in 2015 to carry on the legislative oversight legacy and vision of Senator Carl Levin, Michigan’s longest serving Senator. Meet our founder, team, and leadership on these pages.
Senator Carl Levin, who represented Michigan in the U.S. Senate for 36 years, was a lifelong Detroiter and former President of the Detroit City Council. Senator Levin went to Washington to ensure a compassionate and effective federal government after witnessing mismanagement and its detrimental effects on Detroit by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the 1970’s. During his time in the Senate, he developed a keen interest in making government accountable and responsible to its people through in-depth, fact-based, bipartisan legislative oversight and strong ethics laws.
