Looking into the next year, Democrats are ready to deliver a better, brighter future for Michiganders

LANSING — Earlier tonight (Feb 26th), Governor Gretchen Whitmer delivered her seventh State of the State address, outlining how Michigan Democrats will lower costs and make an economy that works for working families. With the conclusion of her address, Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Curtis Hertel released the following statement: 

“As Governor Whitmer highlighted tonight (Feb 26th), Michigan has always been an example to the rest of the country on how to get things done. In the last two years under Democratic leadership, Michigan Democrats have put money back into working families’ pockets with free school breakfasts and lunches, expanded tax credits for the middle class, high-paying auto manufacturing jobs, and so much more — but the work’s not done yet. 

“In the next two years, Democrats are fighting to build more affordable housing, create more jobs, and lower costs on the things Michiganders need: food, utilities, and health care. No matter what the future brings, Democrats  will never stop working to build a brighter future for Michiganders where working families never have to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table.”
