house Resolution No.370

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Christine Greig.

Whereas, It is a distinct pleasure to recognize Representative Christine Greig as her time in the Michigan House of Representatives concludes. She has been a thoughtful and caring advocate for the people of the Thirty-seventh District and the entire state, as well as a principled leader within this legislative body; and

Whereas, Representative Greig was an active member of her community for many years before arriving in Lansing in 2015. She graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a bachelor's degree in American studies and computer applications and drew on that training in a variety of roles across more than two decades in the business community. Representative Greig also took on important roles such as founder and executive director of the Farmington/Farmington Hills Education Foundation and president of the Farmington Area PTA Council, helping to support local schools in her community; and

Whereas, Representative Greig has been a leading voice in the House during her three terms in Lansing. After serving as an assistant floor leader in her first term, Representative Greig's colleagues selected her to serve as the Democratic Floor Leader in her second term and then Democratic Leader for the 2019-2020 session. She served as minority vice chair of the Government Operations Committee and as a member of the Communications and Technology, Education, Natural Resources, and Workforce and Talent Development committees, as well as the Legislative Council and House Fiscal Agency Board of Governors. In addition to being a key member of her caucus' negotiating team on numerous major issues over the years, Representative Greig pushed for legislation to improve the state's infrastructure, schools, and environment; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Christine Greig for her notable contributions to this legislative body and our state; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Greig as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
