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. Will Snyder (D-Muskegon) issued the following statement:

“Lowering costs and making life more affordable for everyday Michiganders remain my top priority this term, and I was pleased to hear the governor address this in her speech. Continued investment in job development and workforce training programs will create opportunities that will allow Michigan to retain its homegrown talent and attract young professionals from outside of the state. It’s essential that we work together to solve the complex issues our communities face and keep our state economically competitive nationally.”
