Senator Wayne A. Schmidt of the 37th District offered the following invocation:

“Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

Where there is sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand;

To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

And it is also in dying [to Thy self] that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.”

Senator Kowall’s statement is as follows:

This morning, it is my pleasure to recognize three individuals who are earning a special honor. The Frank Fitzgerald Public Service Award recognizes talented young people active in Michigan government who have shown extraordinary dedication and willingness to help others. The award is named for the late Frank Fitzgerald, a state lawmaker in the 1980s and 1990s. His father, John Fitzgerald, served right here in the Michigan Senate. Recipients are honored for their excellence as scholars, communicators, and volunteers.

The first winner is Jason Nichol, a former intern in the Michigan Senate. Jason graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and now is a law clerk to Judge David McKeague in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Jason was student body president at Central Michigan University, where he majored in music, business administration, and finance. He competed on the CMU speech and debate team and helped the group earn several national awards. Jason is also an accomplished musician. He played for the Midland Symphony Orchestra during his undergraduate studies at Central.

Our second recipient is Joseph Brennan. Joe interned in the Michigan House of Representatives and graduated earlier this month from the James Madison College at Michigan State University. He has interned in Washington, D.C., and studied overseas in Turkey. Joe earned the Vern Ehlers Award for his volunteer work in the Michigan House and also received the Gordon and Norma Guyer Summer Internship Scholarship. Joe’s parents, Martin and Jane Brennan, are in the east Gallery.

Our third winner is Nathan Kissling. Today, Nathan is a policy advisor with the Michigan House Republican Policy Office. Along the way, he was an aide to Representative Tom Hooker and Representative Ed McBroom. Before that, he was a runner and an assistant to the House Clerk. Nathan earned the John Quincy Adams Award from the Student Statesmanship Institute. He is also certified as a Community Emergency Response Teams trainer. Nathan donated several hundred volunteer hours in Mississippi and Texas after those states were damaged by hurricanes. Nathan’s parents, Norman and Janet Kissling, are in the east Gallery.

On behalf of the Michigan Senate, we’d like to thank all three of these individuals for their hard work and congratulate them on winning the 2016 Fitzgerald Public Service Award.
