The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

            House Resolution No. 369. 

            A resolution of tribute offered for the Honorable Jennifer Haase.

            Whereas, It is with appreciation for her dedication to serving our state and working to enhance our shared future that we salute Jennifer Haase and thank her for her efforts through this legislative body throughout the Ninety-fifth Legislature. Her integrity and commitment to Michigan's future have been deeply appreciated; and

            Whereas, Jennifer Haase's service as a lawmaker was an extension of a commitment to service that she demonstrated through her work as a teacher. A graduate of Alma College with a master's degree earned at Oakland University, this lifelong resident of Macomb County taught in the Warren Woods Public Schools for more than 10 years. This background of service and her concern for Michigan's future brought her to the Capitol following her 2008 election; and

            Whereas, Representative Haase has worked to advance issues of vital interest not only for the people of her Thirty-second House District, but all of Michigan. Drawing on her experience in the classroom, Representative Haase advocated for education through her own bills and through her responsibilities on the Education Committee. She also contributed to the work carried out by the Ethics and Elections, Agriculture, and Health Policy Committees. In each of these responsibilities, she demonstrated a notable diligence and thoughtfulness that has earned her respect and has advanced the legislative process; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we commend and thank Representative Jennifer Haase for her service to the people of this state as a member of the Ninety-fifth Legislature; and be it further

            Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Haase as an reflection of our gratitude and best wishes.
