This week, I had the honor of recognizing Jennifer Dalal as Michigan’s Charter Hero for August 2026.
Jennifer is a Reading Specialist at Frontier International Academy Elementary in Warren, where she has dedicated herself to helping students build confidence and a love of reading.
With 63% of students learning English as an additional language, the work Jennifer and her team are doing is making a real difference. Their commitment to literacy, supporting families, and making sure every child has the opportunity to succeed is something worth celebrating.
Frontier International Academy was even recognized as one of Michigan’s five “Bright Spots” for achieving literacy results that exceeded expectations.
Congratulations, Jennifer! Thank you for believing in our kids, supporting their families, and showing what’s possible when we invest in our educators and our students. ❤️📚

Today I had the opportunity to meet with Superintendent Karl Paulson of Lakeview Public Schools in St. Clair Shores.
Karl has served as superintendent for more than 19 years, following years of dedication as an educator and administrator. Under his leadership, Lakeview has more than doubled its enrollment, welcoming students and families from across Macomb and Wayne counties.
The district recently had to relocate its administrative offices to make more space for its growing early childhood education programs. I’m excited to hear more about that expansion and how more families are taking advantage of early childhood opportunities right here in our community.
I’m proud of the work Lakeview has done to build a strong school district that serves thousands of students and their families.
Being a school administrator or educator is not an easy job. The hours are long, the responsibilities are enormous, and too often the compensation doesn’t reflect the importance of the work. Their dedication to our children and their future deserves our respect and support.
Conversations like the one I had today reinforce why we need to fully fund public education, make sure our teachers and school staff are fairly compensated, and ensure they can afford healthcare and the basic cost of living.
I also know that Lakeview has recently been at the center of national attention following concerns raised by parents about policies involving disclosure of information related to girls’ menstrual cycles. Unfortunately, the district has also received an overwhelming number of calls and complaints from outside our community as a result of media coverage, which has created additional confusion and division.
As a parent of girls, I understand why the initial reports raised concerns. I also appreciate the district’s willingness to listen to parents and review policies that may be outdated or have unintended consequences.
From my conversation with Superintendent Paulson, it is clear that the district is working to make sure its policies reflect the privacy, dignity and concerns of students and parents. The goal should always be protecting our children and supporting the families we serve, and I believe that Lakeview has been and is doing just that.
Our educators and school staff work with our children every day, and many are deeply committed to doing what is best for their students.
To every parent: thank you for being involved in your child’s education. If you have questions or concerns, I encourage you to have a conversation directly with your child’s teacher, school administration, and district leadership.
Thank you, Karl and the Lakeview Public School educators and staff for your commitment to our community and most importantly, to the next generation. Let's continue to work together to ensure that every student has the best education possible.

Got my helmet and I’m ready to roll!
ATTENTION kids and parents —stay safe out there.
👀 I see many of you riding mopeds, e-bikes, and scooters without a helmet.
Please use caution, low speeds, stop at every stop sign, and look both ways.

Something doesn’t add up.
Americans for Citizens Voting and supporters of the petition requiring proof of U.S. citizenship have repeatedly pointed to the 709,841 signatures they submitted as 709,841 voters who were ‘disenfranchise’.
But court official records indicate otherwise:
There were at least 100 duplicate signatures, which petition challengers suggested were a 10% duplication rate.
One person allegedly signed the petition 38 times.
10 people allegedly signed it a combined 229 times.
On September 21, ACV Chair Paul Jacob testified before our House Select Committee about the petition process and characterized the outcome as “voter suppression.”
The signatures submitted for review included a substantial number that did not meet Michigan’s requirements.
The valid signatures of voters who signed the petition deserve to have their participation respected. But so does the integrity of Michigan’s petition process. We cannot simply dismiss invalid signatures and then claim that it’s voter suppression simply because a petition fails to qualify when the petition itself does not meet the legal requirements for ballot access.
Michigan has a process for determining which signatures count. The courts and officials followed that process. We should be honest about the numbers and respect the decisions of the Courts.

Happy 100th Anniversary, Roseville! 🎉
This evening, I had the honor of joining Mayor Robert Taylor and members of the community as we celebrated 💯 years since Roseville was incorporated in 1926!
It was such a wonderful celebration of community complete with ice cream, live music, and a reading of Roseville’s history that gave us a chance to reflect on the people, families, businesses, and community leaders who helped shape this city over the past century. Thank you to the incredibly hardworking City of Roseville staff who work hard everyday and for organizing this important event.
A 100th anniversary is more than just a milestone. It’s a reminder that a community’s story is written by generations of people who call it home.
I’m proud to represent our community and to celebrate alongside the residents who continue to make Roseville such a special place to call home.
Here’s to honoring the past, celebrating the present, and building an even brighter future together.
Happy Centennial, Roseville! Here’s to the next 100 years! 🌹

This weekend I attended the annual Lac Ste. Claire Fine Art Fair and one of the most creative pieces I spotted was this incredible work by local Michigan artist Steve Dietz.
This laser-cut map of Michigan features all of our state parks. Seeing our beautiful state represented this way was such a reminder of how fortunate we are to have so many incredible natural resources right here at home.
Looking at this map made me realize I haven’t fully explored our state and want to start a mission to visit as many Michigan state parks as I can. 🌲🏕️🌊
Now I just need to figure out where to start! 😄
What’s your favorite Michigan state park and how many have you visited?
