State Rep. Samantha Steckloff (D-Farmington Hills) stands with guest Kelly Coffin, Superintendent of Farmington Public Schools, at the State of the State address on Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026 on the House Floor at the Capitol Building in Lansing.
LANSING, Mich., Feb. 26, 2026 — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer delivered her final State of the State address before a joint legislative session yesterday evening, setting forth her priorities for the year ahead. With affordability concerns top of mind for many, the address was an opportunity for House Democrats to reflect on legislative successes that helped bring down costs and provide relief for Michiganders. Priority-focuses also narrowed in on the past and future legislative work on the cost of living, health care, education, jobs and safe neighborhoods.
After the address, state Rep. Samantha Steckloff (D-Farmington Hills) issued the following statement:
“It was great to be joined by Kelly Coffin, superintendent of Farmington Public Schools, for the governor’s final State of the State address. My priority remains building up our infrastructure on all fronts, from adding to last year’s massive success on road funding with new resources to protecting our drinking water and updating our outdated water infrastructure. Higher education is another important issue for me, and investing in the next generation of thinkers ensures Michigan continues to be an excellent place to learn, grow and put down roots.”
