Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! 🪇Last Saturday I had the pleasure of attending - and speaking at - the city of Warren’s first annual Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration at their City Hall. (I lived in Warren during elementary school, so this was particularly meaningful to me.) The Hispanic/Latino people have complex histories and experiences in Michigan. According to the 2020 census, over 564,000 live in Michigan; 45,000 Latino migrant workers sustain our state’s agricultural and service industries; more than 20,000 Hispanic-owned businesses generate billions of dollars in activity each year and support thousands of jobs. One of the deeper purposes of Hispanic Heritage Month is to recognize that every person carries a life as real, as complicated, and as precious as our own. This is worth celebrating.

Today, we’re saying a massive thank you to our chief comfort officers. Our dogs remind us of the simple things that matter most–loyalty, joy, and plenty of treats🐶.
Dogs in Politics Day is celebrated every year on September 23rd to honor presidential pets and the history of dogs in American politics!

Supreme Court Rejects Trump’s Restrictions on Mail-In Ballots: Live Updates (Gift Article)

The ruling is a major loss for the Trump administration, which wanted to dramatically change how Americans vote by mail in the midterm elections.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
"When a man of peace is killed by a man of war, he gives a light. You do not have to walk in darkness. If you will have the courage for love, you may walk in light. It will be the light of those who have suffered for peace. It will be your light." -- by Wendell Berry
On this Patriot's Day, thank you.

Every Labor Day, I remember the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. I learned about the fire when I worked at New York University and learned the Factory building still stood — about a minute’s walk from my office. The factory’s doors were locked on the upper floors to prevent the workers from leaving on breaks; when the fire started, workers were trapped and unable to evacuate. 146 people died in what remains one of the deadliest industrial catastrophes in U.S. history.
What came of this tragedy was a fight and legislation for workers rights.
On this Labor Day, I’m thankful for unions and the worker protections and benefits they provide. As a vested member of AFL-CIO and AFT, I appreciate what the union has given to me. As a legislator, I work to give back.

Today is September 1, 2026, and heat indexes are expected to be in the upper 90s or over 100 degrees. I'm sharing this earlier post that has information you need about extreme heat, cooling centers, and what to look out for possible heat-induced illness. PLEASE KEEP PETS INSIDE, DO NOT LEAVE BABIES OR CHILDREN (or anyone) IN CARS (a mid 70's temp can easily rise to 100 degrees in a short time), STAY HYDRATED. Please take care of you and yours.
PLEASE NOTE: until Labor Day, the correct hours for the Harper Woods Public Library are M-W: 12-8 and Th-F: 10-5. Grosse Pointe Public Library will be open this Sunday from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m.
