“Over the years, Jon has worked tirelessly for the people of this community, and it is no doubt better off because of his service here,” Outman said. “While his dedication will be missed, the impact of his work will last for years to come. We thank him for his steadfast commitment to the city of Belding wish him a happy and fulfilling retirement.”

“It’s always a pleasure to host members of my local community here at the Capitol,” said Outman, R-Six Lakes. “As a person of faith, I believe Pastor Stout’s prayer was a welcome blessing as my colleagues and I came together to represent the people of Michigan today. I appreciate him taking the time to be with us.”
