GOVERNOR WHITMER S 2021 STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS
Good evening.
Last year, I gave my second State of the State address in the House Chamber here in the capitol.
Like much of the last year, this State of the State is different, because it has to be. Tonight, it’s just me and a few people in my Capitol office.
And while it’s different, it s an opportunity to speak directly to you the people of Michigan about the past year, and our priorities in 2021.
At the risk of losing you in the first minutes of this speech, I’m going to use a Latin phrase: Annus horribilis: a year of horribles. Before I tell you more, take comfort in knowing that tough years like 2020, our annus horribilis, are usually followed by great years – and yes, there’s Latin a phrase for that too: annus mirabilis.

Since 2007, Rebekah Warren has represented Washtenaw County in the Michigan Legislature. The Ann Arbor Democrat was first elected to the state House from the 53rd District. After one term, she won election to the state Senate where she served two terms. Then, after a move to a different part of the city, Warren won another session in the House, but from the 55th district. Now, term limits will bring an end to that part of her career. WEMU’s David Fair spent some time with the outgoing representative, reflecting on a long legislative career and looking to what comes next.
