LANSING, Mich., Feb. 26, 2025 — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer delivered her seventh State of the State Address before a joint legislative session today. In her speech, the governor discussed her plan to lower costs for families ahead of looming tariffs, increase the workforce and deliver results for the people of Michigan. After the address, state Rep. Julie Brixie (D-Meridian Twp.) issued the following statement:
“As we combat increased costs from tariffs and the federal government threatening to cut our most vital programs, like Medicaid and Social Security, now is the time to remember that our communities are counting on us to enact policies that serve their best interests. I was honored to have Jeff Timmer, former executive director of the Michigan Republican Party and current campaign manager and chief operating officer of the Lincoln Project, as my guest tonight. His vital work is a reminder that we all want what’s best for Michigan and that we can find common ground to work collaboratively to achieve that.”
