The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Vanessa Guerra.
Whereas, The members of this legislative body are privileged to recognize and thank Representative Guerra for her great work and accomplishments in the House of Representatives. She served her constituents of the Ninety-fifth District in Saginaw County and all the people of the state with sincerity and integrity; and
Whereas, Vanessa Guerra obtained her bachelor's degrees in political science and Latino studies from the University of Michigan and a juris doctor from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law. She worked as an academic advisor at Delta Community College and in other capacities to guide youth on pursuing their educational and career goals. She also volunteered as an advocate for victims of domestic violence. Before serving in the Legislature, she sat on the Bridgeport Township Board; and
Whereas, Throughout three terms of service dating back to her first election in 2014, Representative Guerra has served with distinction. Her leadership qualities were evidenced during her time as minority vice chair on the Elections and Ethics and Criminal Justice committees, as well as the Joint Select Committee on the COVID-19 Pandemic. She tackled many other issues serving on the Communications and Technology, Judiciary, and Law and Justice committees. Legislation to reform the state's indigent defense and juvenile justice systems were some of the measures she worked to pass. Her legislative service was marked by thoughtful deliberation and an eye toward helping all people; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Vanessa Guerra for her notable contributions to this legislative body and to our state; and be it further
