Dexter, Missouri - MO State Representative Tila Rowland-Hubrecht is resigning from the legislature, effective June 2.  Her resignation was planned prior to the special session being called this week. 

The following letter was sent via email to her supporters.

Dear Friend,

I want to write you to share with you a decision I have made and to thank you for all your support and encouragement you have given me the past three years.  This week I am resigning as State Representative for the 151st District.  My resignation will be effective June 2nd, that should give enough time for the work at the Special Session to be complete but yet enough time that the Governor can call a Special Election for the district.  Please know that until that time, June 2nd, I will continue to work hard for the people of this district!

It has been a privilege to serve the people of the 151st District and the great state of Missouri.  Working in our State's Capitol has been a true privilege and honor, it has forever changed the way I will look at issues and how I see government.  I heard someone say once that everyone should run for office and should serve in some capacity, I agree, I have learned more than I ever knew I needed to learn.    I have been blessed to meet many people and make many friends and I hope we will all stay in contact!

I am returning to my nursing field and have submitted my resume with a nurse placement company so I am not able to tell you yet where I will be working.  I will remain very active in the healthcare field and will remain very vocal about healthcare reforms.

Again, I cannot thank you enough for all the kindness, support and encouragement you have shown me.  I will be putting out an official press release about my resignation later today but wanted to let you know before I did this as you have been such a great support to me!

Sincerely,

Tila
