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. Veronica Paiz (D-Harper Woods) issued the following statement:
“The people of Michigan sent us here to enact policies that improve their everyday lives, and the vision the governor laid out in her address will do just that. Although there is much division in our country right now, our priority remains the same here in Lansing. We need to work together to combat tariffs, lower costs across the board and prioritize increased access to housing, child care and health care to give Michiganders breathing room and more opportunities to live, work and thrive in their communities.”
