Upon re-election in 2010, he was selected as Senate Majority Leader. Prior to his election to the Senate, Randy spent three terms in the Michigan House of Representatives from 1999-2004. He held a leadership position in the House in each of his terms. Prior to being elected to office, Randy worked in the business community - with 20 years of experience in Fortune 500 companies.

John Rakolta,  is married too Terry STERN Raklota who is Ronna Romney's sister.. John co-chairs along with G. Scott Romney the position of National Financial Heads for Mitt Romney’s National GOP Campaign for President of the United States.

John Rakolta is also business partners with Ari Emanuel who is Rahm Emanuel's (Obama's former Chief Of Staff) brother.  Together they operate Raliegh Studios, a film development company, with a host of others including Linden Nelson and Alfred Taubman.

How does Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville tie into this?  Randy Richardville's lavish trips.  The trips to the Hollywood Emmy’s for Richardville paid for by Rakolta’s partner Linden Nelson in the Raleigh Film Studios. Linden Nelson’s friend Ari Emanuel, is also a big shot in Hollywood.

The corruption seems to go far and wide the deeper the investigation gets.
