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

            House Resolution No. 379.

            A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Nancy Jenkins.

            Whereas, With the completion of her third term in the Michigan House of Representatives, it is most appropriate for us to commend Representative Nancy Jenkins and to express our gratitude for her contributions to this legislative body. Her diligence in identifying and acting on the needs of the Fifty-seventh District, comprising most of Lenawee County, and her thoughtful approach to the challenges facing our state have been deeply appreciated; and

            Whereas, After earning an undergraduate degree from Evangel University and a master's degree from the University of Toledo, Nancy served as a real estate title examiner. She has also worked in public relations, as a research assistant for the Michigan Family Forum in Lansing, and as a district representative for former State Senator Cameron Brown. Representative Jenkins brought these experiences and insights to Lansing and the Capitol following her election in November 2010; and

            Whereas, Representative Jenkins has distinguished herself as a strong fiscal conservative committed to policies that can strengthen Michigan's economy. Her work in the House has been highlighted by her leadership on the House Appropriations Committee. She has served as chair of the subcommittees on Military and Veterans Affairs, Agriculture and Rural Development, and Joint Capital Outlay and as a member of the Judiciary, State Police, and Natural Resources subcommittees. She has been especially active in promoting measures to support veterans; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Nancy Jenkins for her notable 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 Jenkins as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
