?Michigan is full of creative young people, and I am excited to highlight their talents as part of the 2023 State of the State program,? said *Governor Whitmer*. ?I believe what makes Michigan strong is the people that live here, and I am delighted to share a student?s artwork that highlights what they see as Michigan?s strengths.
