Statements

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

The motion prevailed.

Senator Warren’s statement is as follows:

I rise today with the sad news that, just yesterday, the state of Michigan lost an amazing champion for people, for children, and for those who are struggling for their voices to be heard. Former State Representative Hubert Price, Jr. of Pontiac passed away at his home yesterday after a brief illness.

Some of you might be shaking your heads and asking why is the Senator from Washtenaw County standing up to pay homage to a former State Representative from Oakland County. A lot of you know I started my career here as a staff person. I worked for a State Representative from Washtenaw County for five years, and when she was term-limited, Representative Price picked me up and I ran the budgets for him as he was the ranking member on Appropriations. He was a tireless advocate for early childhood education, and for increasing funding for those who take care of our children. When Senator Jansen, our colleague who was just term-limited, was the chair of the budget for FIA at the time, they would work in a bipartisan fashion, trying to find the resources to make sure that our most vulnerable kids had quality childcare.

He was active in his community. He was, for 20 years, a county commissioner on the Oakland County Commission, leaving that office only when he ran for State Representative in 1994 and won. He was involved in local nonprofits. He was on the board of the United Way of Oakland County for a number of years, and he was, for those of you who met him, a very high energy person and there was almost no boundary to how hard he would work and how hard he would ask his staff to work. I always said he never asked me to work harder than he did, but, man, he worked really hard and really early in the morning.

Hubert encouraged people to get involved in this process. He had a saying he said often: “If you don’t have a seat at the table, you’re going to be on the menu.” He encouraged so many people to get involved in local politics in Pontiac and Oakland County and state-level politics.

On behalf of a champion for justice, of a champion for children, and the people, I ask that we give former Representative Hubert Price, Jr. just a moment of silence in his memory, and be sure that his family and the Pontiac citizens and Oakland County citizens and actually citizens throughout the state who were touched by his work know of our great esteem for everything that he did and send our sympathies to his family.

A moment of silence was observed in memory of former State Representative Hubert Price, Jr.
