This year, Governor Gretchen Whitmer will deliver the annual State of the State address on Wednesday, February 26. In keeping with tradition, it will be held in the Michigan House Chambers in front of a joint session of the Michigan House of Representatives and the Michigan Senate.
Key Points:
- This is her seventh, and second to last address, as governor.
- This is one of the latest dates a governor has given the annual address.
- The event will be livestreamed on the governor’s official Facebook and YouTube pages, in addition to Michigan.gov/StateOfTheState.
- MLC will provide an overview of the address immediately after its conclusion.
“Michigan is a state on the move as we continue working together to create good-paying jobs, fix our roads, and invest in our students and schools,” said Governor Whitmer. “I look forward to delivering my 2025 State of the State Address where I will lay out my plan to build on our years of strong, bipartisan progress and strategic, fiscally responsible leadership. By working across the aisle, we have cut taxes by a $1 billion for seniors and working families, fed every student free school meals, build a ton of housing, and fixed a lot of roads. We still face big challenges, but I know that if we all play on the same team—Team Michigan—we can win. I look forward to sharing my vision with my Republican and Democratic partners in the legislature. Let’s roll up our sleeves and keep getting things done.”
