The Washington State Senate has passed a resolution honoring Keri Rawlings Rooney for her over 50 years of dedicated service to the state and its citizens. Throughout her career, Keri has held various positions at both state and local levels, providing invaluable advice and support to legislators, governors, and local officials. She played a significant role in public policy development and initiated the "Voting is Cool" program, which educated over 1,000 children about the importance of voting. Additionally, Keri contributed to the success of major golf tournaments at Chambers Bay, benefiting her community and the state's economy.

The resolution expresses the Senate's deep appreciation for Keri's commitment to public service, her mentorship of future public servants, and her reputation as a trusted colleague and friend. As she prepares to enter retirement, the Senate extends its best wishes and acknowledges her lasting impact on the community and the state of Washington. A copy of the resolution will be sent to Keri Rawlings Rooney as a token of gratitude for her contributions.
