house Resolution No.361

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

A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Jason M. Sheppard.

Whereas, It is a pleasure to honor Representative Jason M. Sheppard as he concludes his service with the Michigan House of Representatives. He worked hard for his constituents of the Fifty-sixth District, encompassing most of Monroe County, along with the entire state; and

Whereas, Representative Sheppard attended Michigan State University and the University of Toledo. He worked as a commercial real estate agent and, for the last 17 years, has owned and operated a snow removal business. In 2011, he was elected to the Monroe County Commission and served two terms before being elected to the House of Representatives in 2014. His experience as a business owner, a real estate agent, and a public servant prepared Representative Sheppard to be an effective legislator; and

Whereas, Representative Sheppard served on several committees during his three-term tenure. He served as chair of the Government Operations Committee and as vice chair of both the Elections and Ethics Committee and the Commerce and Trade Committee. He was an engaged member of the Appropriations Committee and the Appropriations Subcommittee on Joint Capital Outlay, as well as the committees on Agriculture, Energy Policy, Local Government, Communications and Technology, Health Policy, Tourism and Outdoor Recreation, Financial Services, and Transportation. His unwavering commitment to his constituents allowed Representative Sheppard to sponsor enacted legislation to secure jobs in Monroe County, to reform auto insurance, and to tackle the opioid crisis; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Jason M. Sheppard for his notable contributions to this legislative body and to our entire state; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Sheppard as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
