From 2015 to 2020, Webber served in the state House of Representatives, elected by the residents of the greater Rochester area to serve the 45th District. During that time, he served as chair of the House Committee on Regulatory Reform and served as a member of several committees including the Energy, Insurance, Tax Policy, and Transportation committees.

John Engler, House Speaker Rick Johnson, state Sen. Nancy Cassis, state Rep. John Proos and state Rep. Marty Knollenberg. His first state government experience was serving as an intern for state Sen.
