LANSING — After Governor Whitmer’s “State of the State” address tonight, the Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Lavora Barnes released the following statement:
“The Whitmer-Gilchrist administration and Michigan Democrats are once again proving that they will fight for the needs of all Michiganders, especially when it comes to lowering housing costs, investing in education, and leading a national manufacturing renaissance. While Democrats are giving everyone the opportunity to make it in Michigan, Republicans are doing everything they can to stand in the way of progress.
“Michigan Republicans have spent the last year embroiled in one controversy after another, with nothing to show for it, abandoning their constituents in favor of right-wing conspiracy theories and extremism. They are dead set on implementing a MAGA agenda that will fail our state instead of creating a future that uplifts all Michiganders – and time and time again, the Michigan GOP refuses to come to the table and deliver that dream. Democrats aren’t going to hold our breath that the MIGOP will get less extreme – we are going to continue to serve our great state and get the job done, no matter what.”
