Democratic legislator emphasizes need to work to lower costs for Michiganders
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. Samantha Steckloff (D-Farmington Hills) issued the following statement:
“The governor’s address spoke to many important priorities we are hoping to deliver for Michiganders this year. The energy and combined love for serving our communities across the state in the Capitol Building this evening was inspiring, and I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House to transform that energy into fight — fighting to lower costs for everyday Michiganders, to combat chaos at the federal level and to ensure every person has access to the education, housing and medical care they need to succeed.”
