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

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
