LANSING, Mich – Today, Governor Whitmer released a special message to the people of Michigan reflecting on the first 100 days of her second term and her work to improve communities and expand opportunities for every Michigander. The message follows the agenda laid out in the governor’s State of the State address and outlines the progress made since the speech was delivered.   

“Over these first 100 days, we have worked together to get things done that make a real difference in people’s lives, put money back in their pockets, and grow our economy,” said Governor Whitmer. “We rolled back the retirement tax and quintupled the Working Families Tax Credit, putting $1 billion back into Michiganders’ pockets. We secured an $800 million investment from GM and $3.5 billion that will create 2,500 good-paying jobs at the new Ford facility in Marshall. We’re supporting hundreds of jobs in the UP with $500 million to expand production at the Billerud Paper Mill. We repealed our extreme 1931 abortion ban and expanded the Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act, protecting fundamental rights. And we made record investments to build more housing and fund community revitalization. We’ve gotten a lot done in 2023 and I look forward to more good work ahead. Let’s keep getting it done.”

Governor Whitmer and legislators have wasted no time addressing the issues that matter most to Michiganders. Since January, Governor Whitmer has signed legislation lowering costs for seniors and working families, announced 2,500 good-paying jobs, and signed an expansion of the Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act. She has also worked with legislators to pass commonsense gun safety legislation and a repeal of the dangerous 1931 abortion ban that she signed last week.  

Next, Governor Whitmer will sign common sense gun legislation and continue to work with the legislature to get things done for Michiganders.
