Fouts and McFall face off for state House seat BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com
WARREN — Former Warren Mayor Jim Fouts and current state Rep. Mike McFall filed as Democrats to run in the Aug. 6 primary election in District 14 of the Michigan House of Representatives. In November, the winner of the Democrat-
ic primary will face Republican Barbara Barber, who was left uncontested after the April 23 candidate filing deadline. The newly redistricted District 14 represents Center Line, Hazel Park, Madison Heights and parts of Warren. The term of office is two years. “Constituent concerns in the neighborhoods” and “people-centered legislation” were
the priorities of Fouts and McFall, respectively.
Fouts: ‘I understand how things get done, and how they work’
“My No. 1 priority will be taking care of constituent concerns in the neighborhood,” Fouts said. “When I was a city councilman, when I was mayor, I was known as neighborhood See HOUSE on page 18A

‘Welcome back to Warren Consolidated Schools’ JOHN BERNIA NAMED DISTRICT’S NEW SUPERINTENDENT BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
WARREN/STERLING HEIGHTS — In 2019, John Bernia set a goal. “I told Dr. Livernois my goal was to take over for him someday,” he said. The aspiration came true. At the May 1 Warren Consolidated Schools Board of Education meeting, the school board voted 7-0 to appoint Bernia as the district’s next superintendent. Bernia will succeed Superintendent Robert Livernois, who
is retiring effective Aug. 30. Bernia’s official start date has yet to be announced. The district must now negotiate a successful contract with Bernia in order to move forward. Once a contract is negotiated, it will come back to the school board for a vote. Bernia previously worked in the district in different roles, including the Carleton Middle School principal and the chief academic officer. He left Warren Consolidated Schools in the fall of 2022 to become the superintendent of the Walled Lake Consolidated Schools District. The school board interviewed Bernia publicly April 30 at See BERNIA on page 22A
