The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Darrin Camilleri.
Whereas, It is with distinct pleasure that we take this time to honor Representative Darrin Camilleri as his tenure in the Michigan House of Representatives comes to a close. He has served his constituents of the Twenty-third District with unmatched determination and compassion; and
Whereas, Representative Camilleri is a proud son of an immigrant from Malta and a Latina, and is a lifelong resident of Downriver and Michigan. As a first-generation college student, he earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from Kalamazoo College. While in college, Representative Camilleri was elected student body president, led the Michigan Federation of College Democrats, and worked for Congressman John Dingell. His strong dedication to public service led him to become a social studies teacher prior to his election to this legislative body. Representative Camilleri has an extensive and inspiring history of involvement with underserved individuals, as he has spent time as a tutor in Ecuador, a recreation commissioner, an advisor for the YMCA, and countless other roles; and
Whereas, Elected in 2016, Representative Camilleri became Michigan’s youngest Latino and first-ever Maltese American elected to the Legislature. During his time in the House of Representatives, Representative Camilleri has served as a member of the committees on Commerce and Trade; Education Reform; Energy Policy; Oversight; Families, Children and Seniors; and Financial Services. He has also provided valuable leadership as minority vice chair on the Education Committee. A trusted voice in his caucus, Representative Camilleri also served as the Minority Whip for the House Democrats during his tenure. As a result of his legislative work, he was awarded Progress Michigan’s Legislator of the Year in 2017, was recognized as one of Crain’s Detroit’s “20 in their 20s,” and given the Michigan Association for Media in Education’s 2018 Outstanding Legislator Award; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Darrin Camilleri 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 Camilleri as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
