A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Jeff Yaroch.
Whereas, We take this opportunity to recognize the commendable service of the Honorable Jeff Yaroch, a lifelong resident of Macomb County, who has served this chamber as the Representative for the Thirty-third District. Since assuming office in 2017, Representative Yaroch has represented with integrity not only the interests of his constituents in the villages of Armada and New Haven, cities of Memphis and Richmond, and townships of Armada, Lenox, Ray, Richmond, and Macomb, but those of all of Michigan's citizens; and
Whereas, Representative Yaroch holds an associate degree in fire science from Macomb Community College, a bachelor’s degree in human resource management from Baker College, and a juris doctor degree from Western Michigan University’s Cooley Law School. He is a member of the Lions Club, an organization that emphasizes volunteer and service-oriented work in communities across the world. Representative Yaroch developed his leadership skills in the course of earning his status as an Eagle Scout. Before stepping into his role as a legislator, Representative Yaroch dutifully served as a firefighter and paramedic for twenty-seven years, eventually attaining the rank of battalion chief. For seventeen years, Representative Yaroch served his community as a member of the Richmond City Council, further illustrating his commitment to public service. Representative Yaroch is also a devoted husband to his wife, Sara, and proud father of two daughters named after presidents, Reagan and Madison; and
Whereas, Representative Yaroch’s record in this Chamber reflects his commitment to following the Constitution and serving the interests of individual citizens above all else.

Additionally, Representative Yaroch served as a member of the Appropriations subcommittees on Agriculture & Rural Development/Natural Resources; Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; and Health and Human Services. During his tenure, Representative Yaroch sponsored legislation on numerous topics, including to expand worker’s compensation benefits for firefighters with cancer, to create a personal protection equipment stockpile to better prepare for future pandemics, to require feedback from nursing home inspectors in order to protect our state’s vulnerable populations; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Jeff Yaroch for his notable contributions to this legislative body and to our state; and be it further
