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

            House Resolution No. 467.

            A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Adam Zemke.

            Whereas, It is with great appreciation for his hard work and dedication to the Michigan House of Representatives and the citizens of the Fifty-fifth District that we commend Representative Adam Zemke upon completion of his three terms of service to this chamber; and

            Whereas, Adam Zemke holds both bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering from Michigan State University. He worked in the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries before first coming to Lansing as a legislative staffer. His devotion to public service was evident as he served the community in various roles, including on the Dexter Township Public Safety Advisory Committee, the Ann Arbor Housing and Human Services Advisory Board, the Washtenaw County Community Action Board, and the Society of Automotive Engineers Board of Trustees; and

            Whereas, Adam Zemke was first elected to the House in 2012. At 29, he was among the youngest members at that time. He was re-elected in 2014 and 2016 and contributed much to the chamber, including serving as chair of the House Democratic Caucus. Representative Zemke sat on the Appropriations subcommittees on Community Colleges and Joint Capital Outlay as minority vice-chair, as well as on the Education and School Aid subcommittees, demonstrating an interest and passion for education issues. His participation in thoughtful deliberation enhanced the Education Reform Committee, where he served as minority vice chair. He also contributed valuable input as a member of the Elections and Ethics and the Financial Services committees; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Adam Zemke for his notable contributions to this legislative body and to our state; and be it further

            Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Zemke as evidence of our esteem and best wishes.
