In the 2018 Saskatchewan Party leadership election, Michelson supported Ken Cheveldayoff, who had stated that he doesn't believe rape victims should have legal access to abortion services, earning him the anti-abortion group Right Now's top rank out of the six leadership candidates.[2][3] Michelson had previously attended as an MLA the anti-abortion March for Life rallies in Ottawa, Moose Jaw, and Regina in the past.[4][5][6]

As a president with the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, Michelson led the charge against a proposed government-directed employment hours scheme in the private sector.[7]

Michelson did not seek re-election in the 2020 Saskatchewan general election.
