At this time of the year, we’re saying goodbye to a lot of our friends and colleagues here in the Senate whom we’ve worked with for a long time. I have the opportunity today to wish a bon voyage to one of our lobby corps people who has been working with us for a lot of years.

Nell Kuhnmuench will be retiring. Nell was the first female lobbyist to become owner of a multi-client law firm. She’s been recognized with several awards, such as the 2010 Athena Award, in recognition for her many years of leadership. In 2003, Nell was voted Lansing’s most effective lobbyist in a poll conducted by EPIC-MRA for the MIRS newsletter. Additionally, Nell has been voted Michigan’s No. 1 woman lobbyist in several surveys.

She was also chief of staff for two different Speakers of the Michigan House of Representatives, Bobby Crim and Gary Owen. She also served on the House Democratic Policy Staff and provided advice to not only the Democrats, but the Republicans as well. I consider Nell a good advisor and a friend here in Lansing. I feel that she will be missed.

This tribute, therefore, recognizes all the hard work and dedication of Nell Kuhnmuench. This is a distinguished legislative tribute upon her retirement. May she know of our admiration and warmest wishes and continued success in every endeavor. It’s signed by Speaker Jase Bolger, Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, myself, and Governor Snyder. It is affixed with the seal of the state of Michigan.

Senate Resolution No. 210.

A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Gretchen Whitmer.

Whereas, It is a pleasure for the members of the Michigan Senate to commend and thank Senator Gretchen Whitmer as she brings her distinguished legislative tenure to a close. We deeply appreciate her commitment to the residents of the Twenty-third District and the entire state; and

Whereas, Gretchen Whitmer grew up in East Lansing and attended public schools in East Lansing and Grand Rapids. She is a proud alumnus of Forest Hills Central High School. After earning a bachelor’s degree in communications from Michigan State University and a law degree from the Detroit College of Law at Michigan State University, she practiced law with the firm Dickinson Wright, where she specialized in administrative and regulatory litigation. Soon afterward, her passion for advocacy guided her to elected office in Lansing; and

Whereas, Senator Whitmer was first elected to the Michigan Senate in 2006, after serving six years in the House of Representatives. Her notable legislative achievements, though too many to list, include being the first woman to lead a caucus in the Michigan Senate, when she was selected as the Senate Minority Leader in 2011. She served on several committees and was the vice chair for the Education, Judiciary, and Government Operations Committees. She co-chaired a ballot initiative to allow embryonic stem cell research in Michigan, helped craft anti-bullying legislation, and has been a champion for consumers’ rights bills, such as elder abuse legislation. She has been a tireless and outspoken advocate for her district and the state of Michigan; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we offer this expression of gratitude and commendation to Senator Gretchen Whitmer for her exemplary service and her dedication to Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Senator Whitmer as evidence of our esteem and best wishes.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Meekhof moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The resolution was adopted by a unanimous standing vote of the Senate.

Senator Meekhof moved that rule 3.204 be suspended to name the entire membership of the Senate and the Lieutenant Governor as co‑sponsors of the resolution.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

Senator Whitmer asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Whitmer’s statement is as follows:

They say the five most stressful life events are a new job, marriage, moving your home, birth of a child, and death of a loved one. When every one of those life events happens in one’s first term in the Legislature, it helps to give perspective. I know it helped give me perspective.

At the close of 14 years here—always in the minority, by the way—my predominant feeling is not bitterness; it’s gratitude. I’m grateful. I’m grateful for having had the opportunity to work for, alongside, and with so many fantastic people. Because there are so many, it is with an enormous amount of self-control that I’m going to refrain from singling anyone out, because I would hate to inadvertently omit someone on what would surely be a long list.

First, I’m eternally grateful to the constituents who entrusted me with their voice and gave me this phenomenal opportunity to serve. I love this community. It’s not just because I have the greatest commute in the state. My favorite part of this enormously rewarding job is helping people and seeing the amazing things that are going on here. I’m grateful for all of the state employees who work tirelessly to make our state run, are responsive to the people who pay our wages, and they protect us all. I’m grateful to the hardworking women and men who advocate in the halls—they’ve taught me a lot—and the equally hardworking members of the press. You serve a critical function.

I’m grateful for my colleagues on both sides of the aisle; the Democrats with whom I have found my family and the Republicans who have challenged me. You have all made me a better legislator, and I thank you. I’m fortunate to call many of you friends during our mutual service, and I’m hopeful that those relationships will last far beyond.

I’m grateful for all of my staff, my co-workers who make constituent service possible, and without whom I would not have been able to do this job, much less enjoy it on the toughest days here. I’m proud of our team, and I’m grateful for your counsel and your friendship.

I’m grateful to the Senate staff as well and to the people of Michigan—those of you who have so passionately spoken out, who have demanded to be heard. I not only give you my sincerest thanks, but promise that the fight we’ve taken on is not over. I hope you move forward and speak louder, demand better, and expect accountability for the words spoken and the actions taken in this Capitol. It’s your Capitol; your government. I couldn’t have been more proud to fight alongside so many.

Of course, there’s my family. They’ve been my compass, my inspiration, and my joy. My girls Sherry and Cindy, born in my first and second terms in the House, they’re 11 and 12 now. We are on the cusp of the teenage years, and I can only hope I don’t get what I deserve. But as my father says, “You plant potatoes, you get potatoes.”

My husband Mark, my stepsons Winston, Alex, and Mason; we’ve formed a modern-day Brady Bunch, and I’ve never been happier. My dad, my sister, and my brother; I’m lucky to call them my best friends. Of course, there was my mother too, whom I lost in 2002 to brain cancer.

With political campaigns and discourse what it is these days, cynicism and discouragement is understandable, but I still believe, as I was raised, that public service is a noble calling. We must remember that we are given this opportunity and that our duty to our constituents is paramount. Though the ugly nature of campaigns may quell enthusiasm of future political leaders, these younger generations are just as engaged and civic-minded as ever. It’s incumbent on us to encourage them to consider service through government, not just around it. We must inspire these future leaders to engage, to debate, and to lead.

I wish Governor Snyder and the next Legislature well, and I thank you.

He used this expertise as chairman of the board for the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute.

After serving one term as ranking member of the House Committee on Ways and Means, on January 5, Congressman Camp began his tenure as chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means. As chairman, Congressman Camp has worked with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to produce the legislation that would be the most comprehensive overhaul of the tax code in almost thirty years. The Tax Reform Act of 2014 proposed a simpler and fairer tax code that will be a blueprint for future reform.

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Senate that we extend our heartfelt and everlasting thanks to Congressman David L. Camp as he completes his service to the people of Michigan in the United States House of Representatives. And be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Congressman Dave Camp and his family as evidence of our highest esteem and admiration for his diligent service, selfless sacrifice, and unending contributions to this great state of Michigan and the United States of America.

Senator Hune offered the following resolution:

Recess

Senator Meekhof moved that the Senate recess subject to the call of the Chair.

The motion prevailed, the time being 3:39 p.m.

3:48 p.m.

The Senate was called to order by the President pro tempore, Senator Schuitmaker.

Senator Richardville asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Richardville’s statement is as follows:

This is to recognize the work of Stacey Murray, who has been a friend of mine and a colleague of all of yours for a long time, with over 20 years in the political arena and over 15 years as a loyal Senate staff member.

She established with Governor John Engler’s administration statutory framework for the punishment of domestic violence offenders. She updated criminal sexual conduct statutes, including removing the statute of limitations on criminal sexual charges in the first degree. She was involved with the modernization of the Michigan Credit Union Act and received the credit union Staffer of the Year award, largely due to the fact that she showed up four days after having her third son Jack to manage the legislation on the Senate floor. She’s a tough old broad. I don’t know who wrote that, but that’s not appropriate.

A year later, she went into labor with her fourth son Joshua and insisted on staying until the end of the day, an action that terrified her colleagues. In 2003, she became the floor manager for Senate Majority Floor Leader Bev Hammerstrom. In 2007, she joined the staff of Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop. In 2011, she joined the office of Senator Joe Hune, for which she should deserve sainthood, just by itself. She worked on key legislative issues with many being a huge success and a few that will make me shake my head when I hear things like wild boar and large carnivores.

With Senator Hune’s blessing, Stacey went to assist the office of Dave Robertson during a very difficult moment for this caucus, especially for Dave. Keeping Team Robertson together and moving forward until Erika’s return was an exciting yet challenging time. The key to this success was keeping the Senator fed. I don’t know who’s writing this stuff anymore.

Nobody has been more dedicated to this caucus over the past decade and a half than Stacey Murray. She is one in a million, and the Michigan Senate is forever indebted to her. I will always be happy to have her as one of my dear friends.

Senator Meekhof offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 208.

A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Randy Richardville.

Whereas, It is a privilege to extend the congratulations of the Senate to the Honorable Randy Richardville as he concludes his service to the state of Michigan as a member of the Legislature. For 14 years, he has provided committed leadership in this chamber and in the House of Representatives: developing practical solutions, building consensus, and generally working to make our state a better place to live, work, and raise a family; and

Whereas, A native of Monroe County, Randy Richardville graduated from Albion College with a degree in economics and from Aquinas College with a Master of Management. He would go on to a career in business, working for Michigan companies, such as La-Z-Boy and Herman Miller. In 1998, he was first elected to represent the Fifty-sixth District in the House of Representatives; and

Whereas, For six years as a State Representative, Randy Richardville championed causes important to the residents of Michigan, working to promote economic development, create jobs, protect children, and conserve our natural resources. In his final House term, he was chosen by his peers to serve as Majority Floor Leader. In 2006 and 2010, Randy Richardville was elected to the Senate, representing the Seventeenth District; and

Whereas, For the last four years, Senator Richardville has lead this chamber as the Senate Majority Leader. Under his dedicated leadership, the Senate has helped restore fiscal stability to the state’s budget while laying the groundwork for Michigan’s recovery from the Great Recession. For this work and his past efforts on many issues, he has been recognized by numerous groups, including the Small Business Association of Michigan, the Michigan Sheriffs’ Association, the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, the Autism Alliance of Michigan, and the Michigan Children’s Trust Fund; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Randy Richardville for his distinguished work with this legislative body and notable contributions to our entire state; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Senator Richardville as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Meekhof moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Senator Meekhof offered the following amendment:

1. Amend the resolution, following the third Whereas Clause, by inserting:

“Whereas, Senator Richardville was elected Senate President pro tempore presiding over the Senate Chamber during his first term in the Senate; and”.

The amendment was adopted.

The resolution as amended was adopted by a unanimous standing vote of the Senate.

Senator Meekhof moved that rule 3.204 be suspended to name the entire membership of the Senate and the Lieutenant Governor as co‑sponsors of the resolution.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

Senator Richardville asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Richardville’s statement is as follows:

Through you to Senator Young, I’d like to start this speech with a quote. It’s actually paraphrased somewhat; I’m going to take a little liberty. It’s from Mother Teresa: “If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. People favor underdogs, but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway. For, in the end, it was never between you and them.”

I’d like to share a little bit of my philosophy and direct this toward the members, especially. Everyone in this room is an elected official, which means we’re all what I call politicians. My definition of a politician is someone who knows how to get elected. The next level up, though, is that of a servant leader; someone who realizes he or she is not here to be served, but instead the people who elected them should be the ones served. If Jesus, Himself, said He came not to be served, but to serve, then how much more should we be willing to serve those who elected us?

Finally, in my mind, there is a third level—that of a statesman. A statesman is not only someone who can be elected and understands what it is to be a servant leader, but also knows how to get things done and is looked up to as an example by his or her peers over a long period of time.

Today, I look around at those who will also be leaving the Senate. I’ve spent a lot of time with them, and I know that they are all statesmen in my mind. My challenge to the next crop of legislators and those who are returning is to strive to be statesmen and women, and leave this place better than when they arrived.

Our service has taken many forms—from simple changes like opening the window blinds to make it a little brighter in here, replacing the carpet, and fixing our workspace in this Capitol; along with four years of a balanced budget ahead of schedule; some strong bipartisan support for items like autism coverage; helping to put Detroit on the path of financial health; and hopefully, later today, we will have added a bipartisan solution for roads to our list of accomplishments.

I want to thank my colleagues on the other side of the aisle for working with my caucus to set a tone far different from what we see in Washington. Those of you, such as Senator Moolenaar, who are going to Washington, I hope you take some of that attitude with you. I want to thank the Minority Leaders in the Senate and House, the Speaker, Lieutenant Governor, and Governor for their leadership over the last four years.

Sixteen years ago, the people of Monroe County elected me to the House of Representatives, and it has been my privilege to serve them ever since. I have worked hard to be true to myself and to the people back home who thought enough of me to give me their support and their vote. I have done my best to be straightforward and pragmatic. I have tried to hold true to my core beliefs and tried to always be an accurate reflection of the people in my district.

I think most of you know that I firmly believe that the Legislature should not be about partisanship. It should be about solutions, and I have tried my best to find middle ground on a lot of issues. I thank you for your participation in that effort. I’d like to think that those who know me know that what you see is pretty much what you get. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, I suppose, is up for debate, but I learned early on that it was better to be upfront and honest with my colleagues in the Legislature and my colleagues in the Lansing community. I hope I have earned some respect from them, because they have certainly earned mine.

For the folks back home who thought it best to elect me five times to come up here, I hope you feel I have served you well. I hope I am remembered not as Senator or as Majority Leader; or the guy who helped bring the Career Technology Center and the Performing Arts Center to the community college; or who helped to restore Lake Erie’s Sterling State Park; or who helped coordinate state and federal resources for the designation of the River Raisin National Battlefield and the new La-Z-Boy Headquarters back in Monroe. Those are things that we did up here with a lot of help from you. At home, I hope I’m remembered simply as Randy, the guy from Monroe.

To my caucus, I hope I am remembered as a leader who recognized the expertise in others and trusted and respected my fellow Senators enough to let them do their jobs. You chose me to lead a historic Senate majority, and it has been my distinct honor and privilege to be your leader. I hope I have met your expectations often and disappointed you seldom.

To my friends on the other side of the aisle, I would like to thank you for your willingness to listen and your interest in compromise. While we may not always agree, I’d like to think that we found common ground wherever possible. To the Minority Leader, my friend, thank you for being willing to talk and willing to listen. I’m glad we were always able to take a moment to laugh. People around us laughed at us, as well.

Now we come to the part of the speech where I thank everyone who helped me look good and do my job well. To my friends in the Greater Lansing community, thank you for communicating and informing me on so many issues. Thank you for your friendship and your kindness. I know some of us will be friends for the rest of my days here. I hope you feel the same about me.

I’d like to thank all the Senate session staff, but especially Carol Viventi. You made me sound more eloquent and appear more capable than I actually am. Those four years that I spent up at the top of the rostrum, when I knew what to say only half the time, you reminded me what to say and very casually whispered things so that I never made an embarrassment of myself or the institution. I shouldn’t say never, but most of the time. I thank you for that.

Thank you to our Senate staff in policy and communications for going way above and beyond to help us do our jobs and for telling us what we can do, how we can do it, and how to effectively communicate it.

I want to thank the Legislative Service Bureau for enduring countless hours of drafts, edits, and abuse. Be prepared for the rest of the day and early morning tomorrow.

I have to take a few moments, at least, to thank my past and current staff. Not everybody is included here, but the ones who worked the closest with me. Peter Ruddell, the very first staffer I had, abandoned me after about nine months. He tells people I fired him, but I didn’t. Jason Rivard, who came up to me back in 1996 and said, “I just graduated from Central Michigan, and I’ve always wanted to be involved in politics. Can I be your campaign manager?” I said yes and we lost. Thanks, Jason, for that. Governor, what do you say? Relentless positive action. He came back, and we did win the second one. Then he stayed with me for six years. Jason, you were an incredible friend and still are.

Adam Stacey, who helped me back in the House, he’s still with me. I don’t know how he stays so young-looking doing all the things that he does, but he’s an incredible man. Pattrick Yockey? Where’d Pattrick go? Oh, he’s back there taking pictures? You’re more than a friend. I saw your Facebook posting today; it was awesome. I actually wrote it and gave it to him.

Ann Grasman, I don’t know if she’s here or not, but she is the most likeable person whom I think I’ve ever worked with up here and manned our doors like nobody ever. Brad Bergmooser, who is working in Chicago; Jody Dorr, who met me with a smile and a hug every morning; Kerry DeBano, who’s since got married, knocked on so many doors with me for so long. What an incredible person she is; John Manor, who tried to replace me twice and got beat in two tough elections and then came in and works just as hard now as he did then; Tony Daunt; Mike Parr, who’s still here; Jamie Clover Adams, now moved up in the administration. Governor, you know, we train these people. They become really good, and then you go and take them. You’ve got to stop doing that.

Tony Stamas made an incredible difference when he became my chief of staff. I’d like to single him out as somebody who has influenced the Senate as much as anyone. Megan Noland, you’re still my sugar. Don’t take that the wrong way. See, she’s working for Bouchard now, and Bouchard thinks that she likes him more than me, but she doesn’t. That’s why she’s here.

Scott Bean, you were with us from the beginning and you’re still here. There’s nobody who understands Monroe better than you do, through me, and I appreciate all your efforts; Ryan Richardville, a member of the family who’s still with me; Scott Jones, who’s started a young family and now makes this commute. I don’t know sometimes why he does; Connor Spaulding, who’s staying on with the next leader’s office; Sean Smith, a special individual whom I have to recognize, because he’s been an example for all of us on how tireless and relentless you can be in overcoming physical obstacles; Lisa Hoekstra is moving on to Washington.

Bobby Ray, there’s been a fight as to who the scarecrow was in this. You know the scarecrow, right, from the “Wizard of Oz?” I think I’ll miss you most of all. I know the rest of them think they’re the scarecrow, but it’s actually you, Bobby Ray. I’m going to miss you most of all.

Margie Roggelin, we go back to the Monroe days when you used to help me with things. You’ve always been a friend, and you moved up here and you’re moving on to another office. Thank you. Pete Langley, who returned to the Senate after working with Senator Sanborn for a number of years. He quit and I can’t blame him for that, but then he came back when we took over. That’s a good thing.

Amber McCann, you are the spokesperson for this caucus and one of the people whom I can go to with any problem of any sort. You somehow make it all work. Teri Ambs, you’re more than the scarecrow. Where are you? This is the woman who got most of the legislative work done that we’ve done in the last four years and has managed several positions in one. She also has come to me with all the problems she has, and God, that’s a lot. You might not know this, but over the last eight years, she’s helped me to deal with problems and things that aren’t rational at all, so that when I became the leader, I could deal with all of you better, because of the great example that Teri was. Teri, you and Pete just got married, and they asked me to be the officiating guy on that. I’ve never done that before, and I’ve never been honored more than to do that. I wish you all the love and happiness the rest of your time together.

Jake McLaughlin, everybody, I think, just about in the world knows Jake, but what you might not know is that he came up to the House of Representatives about 15 years ago as a field trip and told me that he was going to work in this building some day. Eleven years later, he’s 21 years old and he’s up here and he moved from driving me part-time to being deputy chief of staff. Jake, all that you’ve listened to back and forth in the car means that I’m totally indebted to you. Anything you ever need or want, you know you’ve got it. You don’t even have to ask.

Jordan Hankwitz, you came in and filled a role and have been the rock in the office. I can’t thank you enough for your leadership and the style with which you performed your job. You do it as solidly as anybody can or maybe ever will. You set a standard for everybody else to try and achieve. Thank you, as well, for being my friend.

I’ve got a few outgoing Senators to mention. I’m not going to mention everyone, but I’m going to mention a few of them. Roger Kahn, who thought just as recently as a couple of hours ago to mention that he has seen me in my diapers before, you can stop doing that now. I don’t know anybody who could’ve managed the appropriations process coming out of the last administration and moving into this one and the problems we had the way that you have. Your service to the state of Michigan is unmatched by anybody else I know. I just want to thank you, because we’ve worked together side by side and, just so you know, about eight years ago or something, this man called me up. He said, “You know, I’ve only been in politics a couple of years, and I’ve spent almost two years in the House of Representatives. I’m the chairman of the Health Policy Committee, and I’m wondering if I should run for the Senate or not. What’s your advice?” I said, “Well, you’re chairman of the committee you’ve always wanted to be. You’re in a safe seat now and you’ve made it safe. It wasn’t beforehand. You’re in the majority and you probably will be. You should stay right where you are.” Two weeks later, he announced he would be running for the Senate. I’m glad that you didn’t take that advice back then.

John Pappageorge, The Colonel, we were seatmates for a long time. You have probably talked to me in my legislative career more than anyone. It wasn’t always solicited, but you know, you did this where you come up and gave this unsolicited advice. Every six or seven is really good. It’s like Pavlov’s dog. You don’t know if it’s the good one or if it’s not the good one, so you’ve got to listen all the way through it. I’m just kidding. You’ve been an example, and I consider you a dear friend. I thank you very much for your service to the state of Michigan.

Bruce Caswell, somehow you observe things that nobody else does. I’m struggling and you take me off to the side, and you give me advice as if I was one of your track or football kids or one of the students or even like I’m your son. I want you to know that I’ve learned enough from you. You don’t have to take me aside anymore. I’ve got it.

Howard Walker, you know, Alice Cooper has a song, “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” I used to think you were a really nice guy until I got to know you. The way you fight for things and the way you have—I don’t want to say you’ve come out of your shell, because that wouldn’t be true, but I’ve watched you grow into a different kind of legislator than before. This body is going to be a lesser body because you decided not to stay. We understand and know that you’re moving back to your family. I wish you the best.

Mark Jansen, I don’t know if there’s a better example of a legislator to me. You started before I did, so I got to watch people like you when I was a little rookie over there. More than being as good a legislator as you are, you’re an example of what a good Christian man should be. That’s probably what I’ll remember you most for. I’ll miss you as much as I do anybody else, because I’ve watched you battle through good things, bad things, disappointments, and you never seem to lose the hope or the faith that you have. I don’t think you realize how much that’s affected everybody around you.

Tupac Hunter, I wish you Godspeed, and I like it when you vote with us every now and then. That’s really a cool thing. You represent the city of Detroit well, and, of course, you’ve got a bright future in front of you. I wish you the best.

Glenn Anderson, congratulations on all the work you do. We finally got some license plate stuff done. I hope you’re happy about the things we did do. If not, well, we probably won’t see each other very much. I’m just kidding. I wish you all the best in your future as well.

John, I already mentioned you, but I’m proud to know you and the place you’re going to have in Congress. I know you’re going to be an incredible Congressman. I hope you bring some of this attitude with you when you go.

Gretchen Whitmer, I’m looking forward to celebrating the end of this relatively soon. I can’t tell everybody any more than that. It’s all a good thing. You know, what’s really cool about having the microphone last is that I have the microphone last, but you can see that it doesn’t really bother her a whole lot.

Finally, I’d like to recognize my family. They’ve stood by me and supported me in good times and bad. I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for their love and encouragement. We started out when my two children were in junior high, and now one of them has two kids, and the other one is working full-time. They’re adults and they’re out living in California. Mandy, her husband Daniel, little James—and if you have a few minutes, I’ll bore you with him, because if I have a second to do that, I will. Sophia, the little girl who was born just about four months ago, I’m so happy to have her in my life.

My son Adam, who is probably my best friend; my mother Glenda, and those of you who work in the Republican Caucus know her. I have nothing more to say but that I love her dearly; her husband Chuck; and, of course, my father Dennis, who just turned 80 the other day. He’s down in Florida, and I miss spending time with him.

You all know what a sacrifice it is when you come up here. Your family sacrifices a lot. You sacrifice time with them. It’s a noble thing. Early on in my career, I received probably the best advice I ever received. I was told, “Don’t let Lansing change the person you are.” You might argue that person didn’t know me very well, but I have done my best to follow that advice.

I started with a quote from Mother Teresa, and I’ll end with a thought. You know that I have songs and sometimes songs come to my mind. I was thinking recently, looking back on this, I did think about Gretchen. You and I, when we vote together, that song was “Stuck in the Middle,” by Stealer’s Wheel. You know the one, “Clowns to the left of me.” It’s funny if you think about it.

This is from Jerry Garcia, from a song I think is called “Truckin’,” and it goes:

“Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me;

Other times I can barely see.

Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it’s been.”

As I start on a new journey, although I’ve tried to be true to myself, I’m a different person than I was when I got here, largely because of the people in this room. I consider myself a better person for having known each and every one of you, whether you’re a member, staff, former staffer, friend, or guest in the Gallery. I want to thank you for what you’ve meant to me and will continue to mean to me for the rest of my life. I hope that on that other path, we’ll have the opportunity to see each other again.

Thank you all. May God bless you.
