The 12th District encompasses the communities of Auburn Hills, Keego Harbor, Lake Angelus, Sylvan Lake, Pontiac, Rochester and Rochester Hills, and the townships of Addison, Independence, Oakland, Orion and Oxford. Before his time as majority leader, Bishop served as assistant majority leader. He was chosen to be chairman of the Banking and Financial Institutions Committee and vice chairman of both the Gaming and Casino Oversight Committee and Judiciary Committee.

He is also a licensed real estate broker and owner of two local real estate businesses (Freedom Realty, Inc. and Pro Management, Inc.).
Bishop is a member of the American Bar Association, State Bar of Michigan, Washington, D.C., Bar, Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States, Oakland County Bar Association, Michigan Association of Realtors, and National Association of Realtors. He served on the Municipal Law and Business Law committees of the Oakland County Bar Association and is a member of the National Association of Sportsmen Legislators. He is an avid fisherman and hunter and strongly supports second amendment rights.
Bishop currently resides in Rochester with his wife, Cristina, and his three children, Benjamin, Gabriella and Nathan.
Michigan's term limits prohibited Bishop from seeking re-election in 2010 to the Senate.
