She served on committees dealing with local government, natural resources, and children's issues. Her notable achievements include her efforts to ensure that Michigan's children receive a better education and to improve life in Detroit, particularly through her work to make sure Detroit's city streets are lighted; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we extend our appreciation and thanks to the Honorable Maureen Stapleton for her service to this legislative body and the entire state; and be it further
