Early lifeA native of Grand Rapids, Zaagman attended Calvin College and earned a degree in mortuary science from Wayne State University. He served in the United States Navy during World War II. After the war, he married Martha Haverkamp and served three terms on the Kent County board of supervisors. Zaagman was also a director of the Kent County Library.[1] Senate careerAfter two unsuccessful campaigns for the state House, Zaagman won election to the Senate in 1962 and served four terms. During his tenure, the Legislature endeavored to implement the state's new constitution. Zaagman was elected president pro tempore in 1971, and majority leader in 1974. He was defeated for re-election in 1974 by John Otterbacher. That year, Zaagman had also ran unsuccessfully to fill the vacancy in Congress caused by Gerald Ford's elevation to the vice presidency.[2] Later lifeWhen Zaagman left the Senate, he pursued a career in lobbying.[3] Zaagman died on February 3, 2012, aged 85.[4] References1. ^1973-1974 Michigan Manual: Milton Zaagman {{DEFAULTSORT:Zaagman, Milton}}2. ^The Political Graveyard: Zaagman, Milton 3. ^Senate Resolution 116 (2012): A resolution offered as a memorial for Milton Zaagman, former member of the Michigan Senate 4. ^The Grand Rapids Press: Milton Zaagman Obituary 3 : Michigan state senators|1926 births|2012 deaths |
