Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel will deliver his 12th annual State of Macomb County address in Clinton Township at on Wednesday.

The former Macomb County sheriff is expected to cover a wide range of topics, including this year’s accomplishments and partnerships, as well as the year’s challenges and other highlights. He will also layout his plans for the county in 2025 — with some contemplating whether he may signal a potential run for Michigan governor in 2026.

The address comes just a few weeks after Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan announced he would not seek reelection in 2025. Duggan, a longtime Democrat, just announced on Wednesday that he will be running for governor of Michigan in 2026 as an independent.

The crowd of attendees at the State of Macomb County address will be invitation-only, but it will be livestreamed on Macomb County’s website via YouTube.
