This morning, I had the opportunity to speak with parents of Lakeview High School students about their concerns regarding the disclosure of their child’s menstrual cycle information.
In listening to the parents at Lakeview, I can clearly understand and appreciate how deeply involved they are in their child’s education, privacy, and overall well-being.
I want to commend them for speaking up, asking questions, and advocating for policy changes that are fair, equitable, and respectful of every student and every family.
As a parent myself, I believe parents should have a voice when it comes to policies that directly affect their children. That means listening to concerns, having honest conversations, and working together toward solutions that put our children first.
I look forward to continuing these conversations with parents, teachers, administrators, and the Lakeview community so that we can get to a place where our students’ needs are at the center of the discussion, while making sure the parents who raise concerns have a seat at the table every step of the way.
Thank you to the parents for taking the time to speak with me and for advocating for their children and other students in our community. ❤️

Congratulations to the St. Clair Shores Police Department on the grand opening of their state-of-the-art police headquarters! 🚔💙
I had the opportunity to visit and get a first look inside, and it was so great to see this new space and the people who serve our community everyday.
From seeing the Drone Team demonstration and Emergency Response Team equipment to checking out the patrol vehicles and meeting K9 Ozzie and Officer Morano, it was a great reminder of the training, resources, and dedication our SCS PD has to respond when our community needs them most and help keep residents safe.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this new headquarters a reality, and especially to the men and women of the St. Clair Shores Police Department for the work you do every day to keep our community safe.

I am incredibly honored that my name is now part of the history of the City of St. Clair Shores and the St. Clair Shores Public Library —where generations of children and their families will continue to learn, grow and make memories.
This is a small piece of what we've accomplished
together —at the start of the entrance to a place that means so much to our community.
It is a humble reminder that the work we do today will be written in history, and define our future story for decades to come.

Congratulations to the St. Clair Shores Public Library on its regrand reopening yesterday! 📚🎉
I was excited to visit and to join Mayor Kip Walby, Councilman John Caron and all the residents who stopped by.
A library is so much more than books. It’s a place where kids can learn and explore, adults can access computers and resources, families can gather, and our community can come together.
I’m proud to have helped ensure the library had the resources it needed to complete this renovation, including $500,000 secured in the FY 2025 budget.
Investing in our libraries is investing in our communities. I’m so excited to see this space open its doors again and continue serving St. Clair Shores residents for years to come. ❤️
📚Library Hours
Monday–Thursday: 9 AM–8 PM
Friday–Saturday: 9 AM–5 PM
Sunday: Closed
The library is closed on Saturdays from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Congratulations, St. Clair Shores! Here’s to many more years of learning, connection and community.

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.
