Summary — H.R. 2006 (Arizona House Resolution): Honoring Michael Hunter

Purpose

H.R. 2006 is a ceremonial House resolution adopted by the Arizona House of Representatives that formally thanks and honors Michael Hunter for his more than 25 years of service to the Arizona Capitol community and Legislature.

Key provisions

  • Recites findings (WHEREAS clauses) detailing Hunter’s education, career, public service, and contributions.
  • Officially thanks and honors Michael Hunter “for his many years of exceptional service to the State of Arizona” and wishes him well in his future endeavors.
  • The resolution is honorary and ceremonial — it does not create legal obligations, appropriate funds, or change state law.

Background and achievements noted in the resolution

  • Service: Worked in and around the Arizona State Capitol since 1997; served as Chief of Staff in the Arizona House of Representatives beginning in 2016 under Speakers J.D. Mesnard, Russell Bowers, Ben Toma and Steve Montenegro.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree from California State University, Long Beach; M.A. from University of California, Riverside.
  • Previous positions: Goldwater Institute, Governor Jan Brewer’s office, Arizona Senate, Arizona Board of Regents, Arizona Tax Research Association.
  • Military service: Commissioned officer in the Arizona Army National Guard.
  • Policy involvement: Described as instrumental in passage of legislation expanding school choice and tax-code reforms; participation on multiple task forces and committees (e.g., Arizona Fiscal Accountability Committee, School Finance Advisory Committee, School District Redistricting Commission, Transaction Privilege Tax Simplification Task Force).
  • Next role: Stepping down to become Chief Operating Officer for Christian Family Care; plans to devote more time to family.

Who is affected

  • Primarily an honorary recognition for Michael Hunter; affects no statutory rights or programs. It registers official legislative appreciation and becomes part of the legislative record.

Procedural history

  • Unanimously adopted by the Arizona House of Representatives on February 17, 2025.
  • Filed in the Office of the Secretary of State on February 18, 2025.
  • Legislative action entries also list referral and introduction dates (March 10, 2025) that appear inconsistent with the February adoption and filing; see “Notes” below.

Sponsors / Cosponsors

  • Primary sponsors listed: Cory Mills and Steve Montenegro (per the materials provided).
  • Additional cosponsors include: Darrell Issa, Keith Self, Michael A. Rulli, Aaron Bean, Barry Moore, Mary E. Miller, Victoria Spartz, Byron Donalds.
  • Note: Sponsor list includes individuals who are federal members of Congress; the resolution itself is an Arizona House document. This may reflect mixed-source data — see “Notes.”

Notes / Discrepancies

  • Document dates show adoption and filing in February 2025 but also list introduction and committee referral in March 2025. Those entries are inconsistent and may reflect data aggregation errors.
  • Sponsor list mixes Arizona and federal names; H.R. 2006 here is an Arizona House resolution — sponsors should be Arizona legislators. Users should consult the Arizona House or Secretary of State records for the official sponsor list and authoritative timeline.
