Today marks the 100th day of my second term! With a productive majority in Lansing, we have gotten a lot done this year that will make a real difference in people’s lives.
I want to highlight some of the work we have done together to lower costs, create good-paying jobs, bring supply chains home, and make Michigan a state where everyone can envision their future. In 100 days, we have:
-
Rolled back the retirement tax saving 500,000 families over $1,000 a year.
-
Quintupled the Working Families Tax Credit, delivering average combined refunds of nearly $3,200 to 700,000 families. This credit directly benefits half the kids in Michigan, helping families pay bills and put food on the table.
-
Secured record investments for our community, with a $800 million investment from GM and $3.5 billion that will create 2,500 good-paying jobs at the new Ford facility in Marshall.
-
Repealed the dangerous 1931 abortion ban.
-
Expanded the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, reaffirming legal protections for sexual orientation and expanding coverage to include gender identity and expression.
-
Made record investments in affordable housing and community revitalization projects.
-
Restored worker’s rights by ensuring that workers can bargain together for fair wages and benefits.

We’re moving fast and getting a lot done. In the next 100 days, we will work together to produce a balanced budget that delivers on many more kitchen-table issues from education and public safety to infrastructure and health. Let’s keep our foot on the accelerator!
