Gov. Whitmer to deliver State of the State on Jan. 24

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will deliver her annual State of the State address later this month to outline her plans and priorities for 2024.
Whitmer will address a joint session of the Legislature and the state on Wednesday, Jan. 24, at 7 p.m.
This will be the governor’s sixth State of the State address, but only the second time she gives it with a Democratic majority in the Legislature to back her agenda.
However, the makeup of that majority is at least temporarily on hold: Vacancies in the House will keep the lower chamber deadlocked at 54-54 until special elections in the spring. That, combined with uncertainty about 13 Detroit-area Democratic legislative districts that will have to be redrawn, may have an impact on exactly how much of the governor’s wish list will be accomplished.
Political reporter Rick Albin will be in Lansing on Jan. 24 for the speech to bring you details, and we’ll have lawmaker reaction from both sides of the aisle at 10 p.m. on WXSP and 11 p.m. on WOOD TV8.
