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

            House Resolution No. 480.

            A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Pete Lund.

            Whereas, It is a privilege to honor Representative Pete Lund as his term in the Michigan House of Representatives comes to a close. His service and leadership to this legislative body will be sorely missed; and

            Whereas, Pete Lund brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Legislature. A graduate from Wayne State University with a bachelor’s degree in economics and an MBA from Adrian College, Representative Lund used his educational credentials and business acumen to become a small business owner.  He also shared his business expertise with college students by teaching public finance at Walsh College. In addition to his distinguished business career, Representative Lund served for eleven years as a member of the Macomb County Board of Commissioners; and

            Whereas, Representative Lund was elected to the House of Representatives in 2008, where he advanced to prominent leadership roles including Majority Whip, and chair of the House Insurance Committee and House Government Operations Committee. He led the House through challenging legislative reform efforts including the redistricting process, Blue Cross Blue Shield reform, and streamlining burdensome regulations. He was also a leading advocate for no-fault automobile insurance reform and Electoral College reform; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we extend appreciation and honor to Representative Pete Lund as he brings to a close his service in the Michigan House of Representatives; and be it further

            Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Lund as evidence of our high regard for his service and contributions.
