Dear Friend,

On *Wednesday, February 26th*, I will deliver my 2025 State of the State Address where I will lay out my plans to continue lowering costs, creating good-paying jobs, fixing our roads, and investing in our students and schools.

I hear from Michiganders across our state every day and have been listening to their concerns and ideas about what they need to build a good life in Michigan. From retired folks in the UP to working families in Metro Detroit, Michiganders want commonsense solutions that will make a real difference in their lives.

By working across the aisle over the past few years, we cut taxes by $1 billion for seniors and working families, fed every public-school student free breakfast and lunch at school, created tens of thousands of auto jobs, built a ton of housing, and fixed a lot of roads.

But we still face big challenges. There’s a lot of good work left to do, and I know that if we all play on the same team—Team Michigan—we can win. In my State of the State Address, my proposals will build on our years of strong, bipartisan progress and strategic, fiscally responsible leadership.

Let’s roll up our sleeves and keep getting things done.

*Here’s how to watch live on Wednesday, February 26th:*
