Resolutions
Senator Shirkey offered the following concurrent resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 14.
A concurrent resolution offered as a memorial for Mark C. Jansen, former member of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Whereas, It is with sincere sadness that the members of the Michigan Legislature learned of the passing of Mark Jansen. He will be remembered as a dedicated public servant with a strong commitment to his constituents in Kent County and the people of the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Mark Jansen was a
deeply religious man with a commitment to service. After attending
Grand Rapids South Christian High School, Grand Valley State University, and
Calvin College, he spent three years working as a missionary in Kentucky. He
then returned home, where he served as the director of youth ministries at
Covenant Christian Reformed Church in Gaines Township for seven years and was
elected the township clerk in 1992; and
Whereas, Mark Jansen was first elected to represent the Seventy-second District in the House of Representatives in 1996, before being reelected in 1998 and 2000. During all three terms in the House, Representative Jansen served on the Appropriations Committee, including as chair of the Family Independence Agency and Retirement subcommittees. He also served as vice chair of the Appropriations subcommittees on Agriculture and Natural Resources and Environmental Quality, as well as sat on the subcommittees on Community Health, Transportation, and Higher Education. He dedicated himself to this work, becoming an expert on the subject matter and forming partnerships across the aisle and with the governor’s administration to construct effective budgets. He also served as the Assistant Republican Whip and the Republican Policy Chair and was a member of the National Conference of State Legislatures’ State Legislative Effectiveness and Fiscal, Oversight and Intergovernmental Affairs committees; and
Whereas, After leaving the House of Representatives in 2002, Mark Jansen continued to serve his community, becoming the director of special initiatives for Habitat for Humanity of Michigan. During this time, he also served on the Kent County Road Commission; and
Whereas, Mark Jansen returned to state government in 2007, following his election to represent the Twenty-eighth District in the Michigan Senate. During his Senate tenure, Senator Jansen played a critical role in the passage of most major legislation. As chair of the Families and Human Services and Reforms, Restructuring, and Reinventing committees, he was a leader in reforming the tax system, worker’s compensation, state employee retirement benefits, and many other important issues. Additionally, he was vice chair of the Finance Committee and a member of the Campaign and Election Oversight and Infrastructure Modernization committees and the Legislative Council. He also served on the Appropriations Committee where he chaired the subcommittees on the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Retirement, and Economic Development; vice chaired the subcommittees on the Department of Human Services and General Government; and served on the subcommittees on Capital Outlay and Federal Stimulus Oversight. While Senator Jansen received numerous awards for his effective leadership throughout his career, in 2011, he was named MIRS News’ first-ever Senator of the Year; and
Whereas,
In addition to his legislative accomplishments, Mark Jansen was known for his
ability to bring people together. As a freshman representative, he led the
Republican Caucus’ “House to Houses” project, where representatives constructed
homes in three Michigan counties. During his time in the Senate,
Mark Jansen helped navigate state government through a period of divided
government, frequently negotiating on key issues with Governor Jennifer Granholm
and the Democratic House majority; and
Whereas, After leaving the Legislature in 2014, Mark Jansen continued to serve the people of Michigan. He was the Michigan Director of Child Care Licensing from 2015 until his retirement in 2020. Even then, he did not rest. He was appointed Gaines Township Manager before being diagnosed with cancer; and
Whereas, Mark Jansen dedicated his life to serving those around him, including by being an active member of his community, serving on the Michigan Youth in Government Board of Directors, as Vice President of the Cutlerville Christian School Board, as a member of the Wedgwood Christian Services Advancement Advisory Council, on the Chairman’s Leadership Forum Board of Directors, with the Bowhay Institute for Legislative Development, and as a member of the Steering Committee of the Midwestern Legislative Conference of the Council of State Governments. His commitment to his constituents and the people of Michigan is an example for those who follow him into public service. May his family and friends take solace in his legacy and our fond memory of him; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Mark C. Jansen, a member of the House of Representatives from 1997 to 2002 and the Senate from 2007 to 2014; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Jansen family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
Senator Lauwers moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The concurrent resolution was adopted by a unanimous standing vote of the Senate.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Senators Ananich and Nesbitt asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Ananich’s statement is as follows:
I want to speak on this resolution for a minute. I got elected with many of you in 2010 and we served together for a year term and five months for me in the House of Representatives. When we first got elected, obviously Speaker Bolger was the Speaker and Rick Hammel was the Minority Leader. He was from my community, and he was a friend and mentored me along the way. When I talked about running for the Senate, even before then, he used to speak with an immense amount of fondness when he spoke about Mark Jansen—almost to the point that I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, OK. The guy can’t be that great.’ He would talk about how they worked together when he was the chair of an Appropriations subcommittee and Mark was the chair in the Senate and the way they worked together to get really impactful work done.
As I mentioned, I ran in a special election in May 2013 and came over here a little bit earlier than the rest of you. One of the first people I went to go talk to was Mark because of how much Rick spoke about him. He was such a genuinely decent human being. It flowed from his body the second you met him, and you probably all feel the same way who got to know him. He lived his faith and his actions and his words in the way he treated people. It was really special.
I don’t want to disclose private conversations but I think I can say this pretty universally, the folks to who got to know him, he didn’t speak a lot on the floor but when he did, you could hear a pin drop. Everybody would listen, even if they didn’t agree with him, they listened and he made you think about what he was talking about and made you question your own position sometimes. He was really special about that.
His life before here was filled with amazing, great works; his time here, I think, reflected that; and even his time after. He would speak so fondly about his family, that obviously meant a lot to him, and I think he struck a good balance that all of us struggle with sometimes of our work and our family life. I didn’t know him as well as many of you did, but the times I got to know him were special. He touched a lot of people’s lives and as we all look back at our time here—however short or long it may be—we all get into a reflective mode and we look at, ‘Did we make an impact?’ Hopefully all of us can answer ‘yes.’ There is not a question in my mind that the answer to Mark’s question was that he definitely made an impact—a very positive one.
I’d like my remarks printed in the record and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet a man like him and to speak about him a little bit.
Senator Nesbitt’s statement is as follows:
Thank you to the Senate Minority Leader for the words. Mark Jansen was a constituent of mine. His family was, and is, and I remember it was last summer when he called up for a constituent issue. I think he was looking at retirement of some type but had trouble with the Secretary of State’s office to register their new camper. We worked through that, but I think he was looking at spending a lot of time with his family in the coming years and I’m saddened that that camper hasn’t gone to good use.
I know today we offer our highest tribute to honor the memory of Mark C. Jansen, a former member of the Michigan House of Representatives and Senate. We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing and really send our sympathy and prayers to his family. We know Mark was a man of very deep faith; a wise, kind, and generous individual who lived a life of great accomplishment. He cherished his dear wife LeAnne and their incredible family, served his community, and in all areas put his faith into action.
After attending Grand Rapids South Christian, Grand Valley State University, and Calvin College, Mark spent three years working as a missionary in Kentucky and then returned home to serve as Director of Youth Ministries at Covenant Christian Reformed Church in Gaines Township for seven years.
Mark was first elected to the office of township clerk and then he was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives and Senate. I think we’ve all heard how effective of a legislator he was on the front lines. He was all about helping families, revitalizing our state, caring for the vulnerable, and enhancing opportunities for each person to utilize their own God-given talents.
Mark went on and worked as Director of Spiritual Initiatives for Habitat for Humanity, Director of Child Care Licensing for the state of Michigan, and he served on multiple community service boards, always giving back to the community that gave so much to him.
I remember a
few years ago when I was doing doors in Gaines Township during my campaign, I
knew
I was in pretty good shape when the seventh person told me that Mark was saying
good things about you. That respect for Mark was immense in the township and
sure enough, I figured I was pretty good in that township with Mark saying good
things about me.
His family, friends, and community will certainly miss his light in our world, but take comfort in knowing that he’s spending eternity with the Almighty. One of Mark’s favorite Bible verses is Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.”
Mark led by example, following the path of a genuinely good, faithful, and incredibly effective servant leadership. With that, God bless all his family and those that he’s touched.
