LANSING, Mich. — After listening to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s 2023 State of the State address Wednesday night, Sen. Mark Huizenga, R-Walker, issued the following statement:
“My priority is to help solve the problems facing West Michigan, and I will be glad to work across the aisle to do so. Legislating is a team effort, and I think Republicans like me can offer a valuable perspective to the process. I am committed to bipartisanship and hope the Democratic leadership in the Senate shares this goal.
“The Michigan people expect results. They need us to work together to find common ground on the critical issues affecting their lives and our entire state.
“While we have a historic budget surplus, many families are struggling to afford everyday items, and we must dedicate much of our surplus to providing them with immediate relief and helping build a stronger Michigan.”
