Whereas, Women comprise only 24 percent of participants in all heart-related studies; and

Whereas, Women are less likely to call 911 for themselves when experiencing symptoms of a heart attack than they are if someone else were having a heart attack; and

Whereas, Only 43 percent of African-American women and 44 percent of Hispanic women know that heart disease is their greatest health risk, compared with 60 percent of Caucasian women; and

Whereas, Women involved with the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women® movement live healthier lives. Nearly 90 percent have made at least one healthy behavior change; and

Whereas, Go Red For Women is asking all Americans to Go Red by wearing red and speaking red.

• Get Your Numbers: Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure and cholesterol.

• Own Your Lifestyle: Stop smoking, lose weight, exercise and eat healthy.

• Raise Your Voice: Advocate for more women-related research and education.

Statements

Senator Hertel asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Hertel’s statement is as follows:

I rise today to remember my friend Representative and Reverend Dr. Michael C. Murphy. Reverend Murphy passed away on Sunday, December 28, 2014. He was a friend and a mentor of mine and spent many years giving service to the people of Ingham County.

Michael was elected to the State House in 2000. His proudest moment as a legislator was the passage of The Jasmine Miles Schoolchildren Safety Act, which was named after Jasmine Miles, a student who died walking home from school in 2003. This legislation was targeted at local school jurisdictions to add sidewalks, school crossings, and other safety measures for schoolchildren. In addition, he served as chairman of the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus. Clearly, the people of Michigan were well-served by his diligent and respected service here as a legislator.

Michael C. Murphy continued to serve afterward also. He was the senior pastor at People’s Congregational United Church of Christ in Washington, D.C., having served five years prior to his passing. His dedication to the well-being of congregations and their church growth inspired Reverend Murphy to start new churches not only in Lansing, but also in Washington, D.C. In 1987, Reverend Murphy founded St. Stephen’s Community Church here in Lansing. During this time, he also served on the Lansing City Council until his election to the Michigan House of Representatives.

He will be dearly missed by those who loved him and those who cared about public service here in my district.

A moment of silence was observed in memory of former State Representative Reverend Dr. Michael C. Murphy.
