Governor Whitmer will be testifying before a U.S. House panel next week. She will be joining Democratic Governor Jared Polis of Colorado and Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas for a remote hearing on individual state efforts to battle COVID-19.

“Here in Michigan, we have taken aggressive action to fight COVID-19,” Whitmer said on Friday after thanking the leaders of the subcommittee for the invitation. “Our actions are working. Our case numbers are dropping and we are ramping up testing and working through our plan for a real engagement of our economy in a way that protects our people.”

On the Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee are several members of Congress from Michigan, including Fred Upton. The hearing is set for Tuesday.
