The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 396.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Ed McBroom.
Whereas, It is a privilege to offer the congratulations of the House of Representatives to the Honorable Ed McBroom upon the completion of his service to this legislative body. He has been a thoughtful and principled representative for the people of the One hundred-eighth District since arriving to the House in 2011; and
Whereas, Ed McBroom, a graduate of Northern Michigan University and life-long dairy farmer, has long been committed to making Michigan a better place for future generations. Before his election to the House in 2010, Representative McBroom made time to serve as a substitute teacher and participated in numerous events and programs to get young people interested in farming. He carried that interest in improving the lives of young people with him to the Capitol; and
Whereas, Over the course of his six years in Lansing, Representative McBroom studied issues thoroughly and was unafraid to pose difficult questions to colleagues and other stakeholders. These qualities made him a natural fit to chair the Oversight and Ethics Committee during the 2015-2016 session. He devoted countless hours not only to vetting the legislation before his committee but also to reviewing government audits and ensuring the executive branch was properly carrying out the laws of the state. Representative McBroom also served as vice chair of the Regulatory Reform and Redistricting and Elections committees and as a member of the Agriculture, Criminal Justice, Education, Energy Policy, Energy and Technology, and Natural Resources committees during his time in the House; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to recognize and thank the Honorable Ed McBroom for his valuable contributions to this legislative body and to our entire state; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Representative McBroom as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
