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!
Here’s how to watch live on February 26th:
To make this event the best it can possibly be, I need you – young, creative Michiganders – to come up with a design for the program cover on the theme, “Think Michigan.” Students are welcome to use crayon, marker, paint or any other material.
State of the State 2024 Art Contest Winner: Vivian Kern, Bay City Central High School, 11th grade
To submit your design, please visit Michigan.gov/ArtContest and follow the instructions on the webpage. Submissions will be accepted exclusively through the online system and must be received no later than 11:59PM on Friday, February 14th.
I look forward to reviewing your art contest submissions and sharing my 2025 vision with you. Let’s roll up our sleeves and keep getting things done.
 Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
