Daire Rendon (born May 26, 1952) is an American politician who served in the Michigan House of Representatives from the 103rd district from 2017 to 2023,[1] succeeding her husband, Bruce, who was term-limited in 2016.[2]
Career
On November 18, 2020, Rendon introduced House Resolution No. 324 to impeach Governor Whitmer.[3][4][5] The state senate majority leader and state house speaker (both Republicans) opposed calls for impeachment, calling it "shameful".[5][6][7] The resolution was "dead on arrival", as the legislature had been adjourned and not expected to take action in a lame-duck session.[5][6][7]
In December 2020, Rendon and Matt Maddock joined a federal lawsuit filed by Trump supporters to overturn the election results. The suit asked for state lawmakers to certify the election results, therefore allowing the Republican-led Michigan Legislature to overturn Biden's victory in the state. The judge dismissed the suit, stating that their arguments were "flat-out wrong" and "a fundamental and obvious misreading of the Constitution."[8]
In August 2022, it was reported that
