Less than 24-hours ahead of the forthcoming State of the State address from Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Republican State Senator Kim LaSata has detailed the priorities for 2021 established on her side of the aisle.

LaSata helped lead the development of the Senate Republican caucus’s 2021 priorities, which were announced this evening ahead of the governor’s annual address tomorrow evening.

LaSata says, “Southwest Michigan families and families across the state are facing many challenges as we begin the new year, and they deserve peace of mind about their future and livelihoods,” adding, “It was an honor to help lead my colleagues in this effort to put together a comprehensive list of priorities, which will be key to delivering solutions and building a healthier Michigan. Let’s get to work.”

The Senate Republican priorities are presented in three main categories:

The caucus identified protecting Michiganders from COVID-19, making Michigan a welcoming home for new and existing businesses, and getting students back on track as some of the top issues facing the people of Michigan at the start of the 101st Legislature. Overall, 19 issue areas were prioritized.

LaSata worked with Sen. Dan Lauwers, R-Brockway Township, and Sen. Roger Victory, R-Hudsonville, on the list of priorities, which were announced by Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey.
