In compliance with Governor Whitmer’s workplace protection order to slow the spread of COVID-19, the governor’s Constituent Services staff is working remotely to the maximum extent possible. While they will still be picking up mail on a regular basis, please expect a delay in response to your mailed correspondence. In order to best serve you and in the interest of safety, you are encouraged to contact the governor’s office over the phone at 517-335-7858 or online at Michigan.gov/Whitmer.

Governor Whitmer and her staff are available to assist Michiganders with problems they are experiencing with a state government department or agency. This includes departments of the Governor’s Cabinet (such as the Michigan Department of Corrections, Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, or the Michigan Department of Treasury), or independent agencies (such as the Michigan Attorney General or Michigan Secretary of State). A full list of these departments and agencies can be found on the State Departments listing.

While the Governor can provide assistance if a problem arises with any of these departments, the Governor’s office cannot ask them to ignore or make exceptions to regulations or violate the law. Because Governor Whitmer serves as the executive of Michigan’s state government, neither she nor her staff can provide assistance for problems that are unrelated to state government. Here are some examples of topics not covered by state government, and some resources you may be able to use for assistance:
