house Resolution No.366
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership, offered the following resolution:
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Triston Cole.
Whereas, It is with great appreciation that we thank and honor Representative Triston Cole as he completes his service with the House of Representatives. Representative Cole served the people of this state, especially his constituents in the One Hundred-Fifth District, containing Antrim, Otsego, Charlevoix, Montmorency, and Oscoda counties, with the utmost integrity; and
Whereas, Representative Cole brought a wealth of experience from the agricultural, trucking, and hunting industries. He attended Northwestern Michigan College and Ferris State University. He and his wife own a family farm, which provides produce to local markets, and when he wasn’t working on the farm, he was a semi-truck driver and taught agriculture. Prior to his election to the House of Representatives, he served as president of the Antrim County Farm Bureau and chair of the Antrim County Republican Party; and
Whereas, Representative Cole has been an asset to the House of Representatives since he was first elected in 2014. His leadership was displayed when he served as chair of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and vice chair of the committees on Agriculture and Government Operations. During the 2019-2020 session, he served as Majority Floor Leader and was a member of the House Fiscal Agency Governing Committee. He was also a valuable member of the committees on Energy Policy, Tourism and Outdoor Recreation, Judiciary, and Michigan Competitiveness. He worked to reform auto insurance, expand broadband services in rural communities, and simplify the permitting processes for vehicles; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Triston Cole 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 Cole as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
