The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Annette Glenn.
Whereas, It is with gratitude that we recognize Representative Annette Glenn for her work on behalf of the citizens of Michigan and, in particular, her constituents in the Ninety-eighth District. Throughout her tenure in the House, Representative Glenn’s hard work has benefited not only the people in Bay and Midland counties, but all of Michigan’s citizens; and
Whereas, Prior to joining the Legislature, Representative Glenn showed a deep commitment to public service. She holds a bachelor’s degree in public administration from Boise State University. She served in multiple legislative offices at both a state and federal level, including as a former Congressional staff member in the United States House of Representatives. Representative Glenn also managed campaigns for the state Supreme Court, Lieutenant Governor, and the state House and Senate. Representative Glenn served her community as a volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America and as treasurer for the Midland Fleet Feet track team, the Midland Flames basketball team, and the Kairos Debate Club. She is or has been a member of the Auburn Lions Club; American Legion Auxiliary, Midland and Bay City post; and of the Midland, Pinconning-Linwood, and Sanford Chambers of Commerce; while also being an associate member of the Midland Blue Star Mothers chapter. Representative Glenn is also a dedicated wife, proud mother of five children, and grandmother to nine grandchildren; and
Whereas, Since her election to the House of Representatives in 2018, Representative Glenn has demonstrated a deep and tireless commitment to improving the lives of her constituents in the Ninety-eighth District. She has served in a position of political and community leadership during one of the most challenging periods in the region’s history, as her constituents in Midland and Sanford suffered the effects of both the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and the evacuation of over 11,000 individuals during the catastrophic flooding that followed the failure of the Edenville and Sanford dams. Representative Glenn was also nominated for House Member of the Year by the Michigan Information and News Service in recognition of her efforts during the flood recovery, including hand-delivering to Vice President Mike Pence an appeal for a federal disaster declaration for her flood-ravaged communities; and
Whereas, Representative Glenn served with distinction as the chair of the Appropriations subcommittees on Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy and Military and Veterans Affairs and State Police. She also served as the vice chair of the Appropriations subcommittees on Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and Insurance and Financial Services, Natural Resources and Environmental Quality, and School Aid and Department of Education. Representative Glenn also served as a member of the Appropriations Committee and the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services. She also crafted several new state laws that include advocating for parental rights in schools and improving services for military veterans. Representative Glenn’s dedication and integrity stand as a clear example of hard work, public service, and strong leadership; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Annette Glenn for her notable contributions to this legislative body and to our state; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Glenn as evidence of our appreciation and best wishes.
