The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership, offered the following resolution:
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Abdullah Hammoud.
Whereas, It is with gratitude that we recognize Representative Abdullah Hammoud for his work on behalf of the citizens of Michigan, and in particular, his constituents in the Fifteenth District. Throughout his tenure in the House, his hard work has benefited not only the people of Dearborn and Wayne County, but all of Michigan’s citizens; and
Whereas, Abdullah Hammoud joined the Legislature in 2017, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge in public health and economic development. Hammoud has earned three degrees from the University of Michigan, including a Master of Public Health and Master of Business Administration. Before joining the Legislature, he applied his expertise through his work as an advisor to major health systems on state and national health policy; and
Whereas, Since his election to the House of Representatives in 2016, Abdullah Hammoud has demonstrated a deep commitment to improving the lives of his constituents in the Fifteenth District. As a member of the House, he became known as a champion for the working class and minority populations and as a strong supporter of environmentally conscious policies. He served with distinction as the minority vice chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, and was also a member of the House Appropriations Subcommittees on Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Higher Education and Community Colleges; Judiciary; and Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Prior to his work on the Appropriations Committee, he was a member of House committees on Health Policy; Insurance; Michigan Competitiveness; and Tax Policy. He was also entrusted with the positions of assistant caucus whip, deputy police chair, and policy and messaging chair, and served as the chair of the Arab American Democratic Caucus and member of the Arab American Political Action Committee. His dedication and integrity stand as a clear example of what it takes to be a successful public servant and strong leader; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Abdullah Hammoud 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 Hammoud as evidence of our appreciation and best wishes as he leaves this legislative body to serve as Mayor of Dearborn.
