LANSING, Mich., Feb. 26, 2025 — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer delivered her seventh State of the State Address before a joint legislative session today.

After the address, state Rep. Donavan McKinney (D-Detroit) issued the following statement:

“Tonight, the governor laid out a bold vision to put money back in the pockets of hardworking Michiganders, create good-paying jobs, lower the cost of utility bills, and expand access to housing and childcare.

I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure every Michigander has the opportunity to thrive.”
