LANSING, Mich. (Feb. 26, 2025) — Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks (D-Grand Rapids) has issued the following statement in response to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s 2025 State of the State address this evening:
“Governor Whitmer made herself loud and clear tonight: our collaborative efforts to drive Michigan forward are working. Since the onset of our Senate Democratic Majority, we’ve worked in tandem with the governor and House to forge a better future for our residents — from expanding civil rights protections and reproductive rights to delivering the largest tax relief plan in state history and making sure no Michigan student goes hungry at school.
“But our work is not done yet — we’ll continue fighting to lower costs, foster opportunity, and improve our quality of life. And we’ll remain open to working with anyone who puts the real needs of our residents first and foremost. We’re in your corner, and together, we’ll continue to prove to the rest of the country just how great it is being a Michigander.”
