Senate Resolution No. 209.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Darwin L. Booher.
Whereas, We are proud to honor Senator Darwin L. Booher, who admirably and faithfully served this chamber. His devotion to the position of legislator proved beneficial for the Senate, the Thirty-fifth District residents of the northwest Lower Peninsula, and all Michiganders; and
Whereas, Darwin Booher earned a degree from the University of Wisconsin School of Banking and went on to work in that industry for 40 years. He has also farmed throughout his life and owned and operated a small business for nearly three decades. His public service career includes 28 years as Osceola Township supervisor and assessor, along with membership on the Evart Downtown Development Association and the Local Development Finance Commission, among other community pursuits. He served six years in the House of Representatives prior to coming to the Senate; and
Whereas, First elected in 2010, Senator Booher spent eight years in the Senate working faithfully and ardently to advance good public policy. The members of the Senate relied upon his expertise and leadership, as he chaired the Banking and Financial Institutions Committee. He served on the Appropriations Committee and was chair of several appropriations subcommittees as well. Additionally, he was vice chair of the Agriculture Committee, and a member of the Infrastructure Modernization and Education committees, contributing to a diversity of policy discussions. He was also passionate and deeply interested in the state’s policies concerning natural resources, recreational opportunities, and the Great Lakes. His expertise and integrity have been of great value to the Senate; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Darwin L. Booher 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 Senator Booher as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
