2024 House Resolution 328

Whereas, It is with gratitude that we recognize Representative Jaime Churches for her work on behalf of the citizens of Michigan and, in particular, her constituents in the Twenty-seventh District. Throughout her tenure in the House, Representative Churches’ hard work has benefited not only the people of Southern Southgate, Wyandotte, Riverview, Trenton, Gibraltar, and Grosse Ile Township, but all of Michigan’s citizens; and

Whereas, Throughout most of her career, Representative Churches has shown a dedication to working with Michigan’s youth. She first obtained a bachelor’s degree in integrated science and elementary education and then a master’s degree in educational leadership from Madonna University. She then worked as a fifth-grade teacher in the Gibraltar, Woodhaven-Brownstown, and Grosse Ile Township school districts, while also serving as the former union vice president of the Michigan Education Association’s Grosse Ile unit; and

Whereas, Since her election to the House of Representatives in 2022, Representative Churches has continued to use her knowledge and experience in education to better the lives of students throughout Michigan, including by serving as the majority vice chair of the Education Committee. She also served as a member of the House committees on Elections; Energy, Communications, and Technology; Ethics and Oversight; and Labor. Representative Churches’ 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 Jaime Churches for her notable contributions to this legislative body and to our state; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Jaime Churches as evidence of our appreciation and best wishes as she leaves this legislative body.
