Today I had the honor of recognizing the life and legacy of Melvin Parson on the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives.
Melvin was a friend, a community leader, and the visionary behind We the People Opportunity Farm. He believed that growth starts with good soil and that people, like plants, flourish when they are nurtured, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.
His impact can be seen throughout our community and in the countless lives he touched through mentorship, second chances, and service.
I was especially honored that Melvin’s son was present in the House chamber for the tribute. It was a privilege to recognize Melvin’s extraordinary legacy with his family nearby and to reflect on the lasting impact of a life so well lived.
Melvin often reminded us that what we cultivate today becomes the harvest of tomorrow. His harvest is all around us.
We miss him deeply, but his legacy lives on in every life changed, every opportunity created, and every seed of hope planted.
Thank you, Melvin. We will keep doing the work.

I’m excited to share that I’ve been selected as a member of the 2026 Bowhay Institute for Legislative Leadership Development (BILLD) class through the Midwestern Legislative Conference and The Council of State Governments. BILLD brings together newer legislators from across the Midwest and Canada for intensive leadership development, policy learning, and bipartisan relationship-building.
It’s an honor to represent Michigan alongside my colleague Emily Dievendorf and to join a cohort of public servants committed to strengthening their leadership skills and better serving their communities.
I believe good government depends on leaders who never stop learning. I’m looking forward to bringing back new ideas, stronger relationships, and valuable tools to better serve the people of Michigan’s 33rd House District.

Week in Review 6/5/2026
It was another week in the House in which the Republicans chose to govern with chaos. Speaker Hall brought up House Joint Resolution U to a vote without notice or any committee input. This resolution would eliminate elections for the university governing boards of our three largest public universities, Michigan State, Wayne State, and University of Michigan. It will instead turn them into political appointments by the Governor.
I voted against this because it is fundamentally anti-democratic. Simply, it takes control away from the people of Michigan and gives it to politicians. Elected boards ensure accountability, transparency, and independence. The people of Michigan deserve the chance to elect who serves on these influential positions that are paid with taxpayer dollars.
No board is one hundred percent perfect all of the time, but our system has created the greatest universities in the country. Most states have similar universities but slightly different methods for choosing their boards. When we compare these universities to U of M, MSU, and WSU, ours are better in almost every category. We only need to look at Florida and Virginia to see what can happen when a governor turns their universities into a political pawn to push their own partisan agendas.
I have heard from many of my constituents who do not want this process changed and they don’t want to lose their voice. They have the University of Michigan, The biggest state university in their backyards, and the decisions of the Board of Regents will directly affect their community. And they want to keep them accountable to the people.
This resolution ended up failing because several Republicans voted against it after hearing from their constituents as well. In retaliation, the Speaker decided to discharge several divisive partisan pieces of legislation that would never become law, and only meant to stoke culture war issues. This chaotic type of politics is not what we need in Michigan. We need to come together to finish negotiating a state budget before the end of the month so our schools know how much money they’re getting. And instead of working with us, the Speaker decides to play political games.
Here is other pieces of legislation passed by the House this week:
HB 4644 Allows operation of golf carts on streets and county roads in certain municipalities.
HB 5650 Requires reporting to the legislature of certain litigation involving the attorney general.
HB 5682 Allows auction of Pure Michigan license.
HB 5498 Requires designated job positions for state agencies that issue state permits.
HB 5501 Allows replacement or relocation of wetlands within a development project.
HB 5536 Updates definition of wetland.
HB 5557 Modifies calculation of emission profile data.

This summer, Rx Kids is expanding to 20 new communities across our state! This is a life-changing program that improves maternal and infant health outcomes by giving new parents some breathing room during one of life’s most overwhelming moments.
House Democrats fought to protect and expand this program because we know that the health of a city starts with the health of our kids. A little help at the right time can change a family’s future, and I’m proud of the progress we’re making together.

Happy Pride Month! Our state is strongest when every Michigander is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of who they are or who they love. This month, let’s celebrate the contributions and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and continue working towards a Michigan where everyone can thrive.

Week in Review 5/22/2026
This week, House Republicans passed HB 5872-5879, which they promise will give broad tax relief by eliminating the personal property tax. While it sounds like a good idea in theory, this cut would primarily benefit large property holders and corporations who pay the tax to landowners and local governments most. It would also reduce state and local revenue by $5 billion, putting funding for police and fire services, road repairs, schools, and libraries at risk — services that every community depends on. If we are to cut revenue then we need a practical replacement for the funding, otherwise the cost will have to be shifted to Michiganders in other ways, such as a higher sales tax.
We all want a stronger economy and more opportunity in Michigan. Real tax relief should be fair and actually reach working people, not just shift the burden or create budget holes. House Democrats are focused on practical solutions that will lower costs for families and protect the local services that keep our communities strong. Such as cutting red tape and increasing the housing supply.
Speaker Hall continues his pattern of staying out of touch from last week, when he passed bills to roll back Michigan’s clean energy standards that ensure our utilities maintain a more diverse mix of energy sources to prevent families from getting hurt by price swings in any one fuel market. Investing in clean, Michigan-made energy means greater reliability, lower long-term costs, and more energy independence for our state. We can’t afford to double down on the same failed energy policies that leave families paying the price.
As Michiganders’ wallets continue to feel the impact of rising gas prices and global instability, one thing is clear: we need a diverse energy grid to protect our state from volatile energy costs.
Looking forward, I will be heading to the Detroit Regional Chamber’s annual Mackinac Policy Conference next week, where I will be engaging with other state and local officials, as well as various stakeholders on the island to advocate on my priorities for the district and for the state of Michigan.
Other legislation passed by the House this week:
HB 5504-5505 creates the State Digital Service Office Act as a new act, which creates the Digital Service Office which is tasked with overseeing and providing assistance to larger information technology projects.
SB 304 will allow the City of Mackinac Island to increase its regulation of pricing related to ferry operations.
HB 5552 excludes certain business-related mortgage loans from prepayment requirements and penalties
HB 5150 modifies licensing requirements for respiratory therapists.
HB 5717 requires township boards to contract with an accredited individual who resides in the state to carry out the township clerk’s election-related duties in the absence of an available township clerk or deputy clerk

On International Workers’ Day, we recognize the dignity, resilience, and contributions of workers across Michigan.
This day is rooted in the sacrifices of those who marched in the streets, organized in their workplaces, and risked their livelihoods to demand fair wages and safer working conditions.
Their legacy is the foundation of the protections we benefit from today, and we owe it to them to carry that work forward. I’m proud to stand with my Democratic colleagues in continuing the fight to protect and expand workers’ rights — because when we fight for justice at work, we fight for justice for all.
