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

A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Ryan Berman.

Whereas, It is with gratitude that we recognize Representative Ryan Berman for his work on behalf of the citizens of Michigan and, in particular, his constituents in the Thirty-ninth District. Throughout Representative Berman’s tenure in the House, his hard work has benefited not only the people of the city of Wixom, Commerce Township, West Bloomfield Township, and the village of Wolverine Lake, but all of Michigan’s citizens; and

Whereas, Born in Detroit, Representative Berman’s life experiences have made him a true representative of Michiganders. He holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Michigan State University and a juris doctor from Wayne State University Law School. In Representative Berman’s career, he showed his devotion to public service and his community as an attorney at Berman Law and as a reserve police officer with the Sylvan Lake Police Department. He is also a dedicated husband and a proud father of two daughters; and

Whereas, Since his election to the House of Representatives in 2018, Representative Berman has demonstrated a deep commitment to improving the lives of his constituents in the Thirty-ninth District. He served with distinction as the majority vice chair of the House committees on Insurance and Regulatory Reform, and he was also a member of the House committees on Energy; Judiciary; Transportation; Local Government and Municipal Finance; and Financial Services. Representative Berman has also served two terms on the Michigan Law Revision Commission. Representative Berman’s dedication and integrity stand as clear examples of what it takes to be a successful public servant and strong leader; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Ryan Berman 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 Representative Berman as evidence of our appreciation and best wishes as he leaves this legislative body.
