Dear Friend, 

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.

On *Wednesday, February 26th*, I will be 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. We’re going to focus on creating jobs, lowering costs, continuing our record investments in education, and so much more.  

By working across the aisle, we have cut taxes by a $1 billion for seniors and working families, fed every student free school meals, built 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. 

To hear about what we have in store for 2025, save the date for this year’s State of the State Address!
