A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Mari Manoogian.

Whereas, Representative Manoogian holds a bachelor's degree in international affairs and security policy and a master's degree in global communication and public diplomacy from the George Washington University. She interned in the United States Congress and at the United States Mission to the United Nations. Representative Manoogian also worked at the United States Department of State; and
Whereas, During her four years in the House, Representative Manoogian continued to bring attention to international issues, while also working to improve domestic policies. As a proud Armenian-American, Representative Manoogian introduced resolutions to commemorate the Armenian Genocide and oppose military aggression against her ancestorial homeland. In addition, she successfully sponsored legislation to help Michiganders save money to purchase their first homes. She is also an advocate against distracted driving, championing legislation to modernize our state's laws and introducing multiple resolutions to bring awareness to the issue. In her second term, Representative Manoogian led her party as Deputy Democratic Caucus Whip. Representative Manoogian additionally served as minority vice chair of the Committee on Energy and a member of the Committee on Commerce and Tourism and the Committee on Military, Veterans and Homeland Security; now, therefore, be it
