A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Diana Farrington.

Whereas, It is with great appreciation for her hard work and dedication to the Michigan House of Representatives and the citizens of the Thirtieth District that we commend Representative Diana Farrington upon the completion of her services as a member of this chamber.  In these six years, her passion and commitment to improving the lives of Michiganders have benefited not only the constituents in her district, but the whole of our state’s citizenry; and

Whereas, Representative Farrington joined the Legislature in 2017, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge from the private sector.  Representative Farrington graduated from Utica High School and studied at Macomb Community College and Oakland University, before becoming a mortgage auditor and starting her own entrepreneurial ventures. Representative Farrington resides in Utica with her husband, former Michigan State Representative Jeff Farrington, is the proud mother of two sons, and is a loving grandmother; and

Whereas, Representative Farrington has worked diligently to address the economic and financial needs of Michiganders.  As a testament to her outstanding leadership, Representative Farrington received the 2022 Economic Impact Award from the Michigan Bankers Association.  Representative Farrington served as chair of the Financial Services Committee since 2017, and also served on the committees for Energy Policy; Families, Children, and Seniors; Health Policy; Judiciary; Regulatory Reform; Tax Policy; Commerce and Tourism; and Workforce, Trades and Talent.  Her dedication to Michigan’s youth was evident through her legislation that reformed financial education in the state of Michigan; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Diana Farrington for her service and contributions to this legislative body; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Farrington as evidence of our esteem and best wishes.
