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. Mike McFall (D-Hazel Park) issued the following statement:

“When we prioritize mental health, we create an environment where students feel supported, valued and equipped to face challenges both in and out of the classroom. I’m encouraged to see this remain a shared priority between me and the Governor . I look forward to working alongside my colleagues to expand access, break down barriers, and ensure everyone gets the mental health care they deserve.”
