Gretchen Whitmer is set to become Michigan's 49th governor Tuesday, when she is sworn into office on the steps of the State Capitol, in Lansing, Michigan.
Other newly elected lawmakers will take the oath of office as well, including Lieutenant Governor-elect Garlin Gilchrist II, Secretary of State-elect Jocelyn Benson and Attorney General-elect Dana Nessel.
Whitmer will be the last to take the oath of office and will be sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Richard Bernstein. She is expected to speak about her plans to move the state forward. Her later address to legislators will be in these initial weeks of January - February.
Detroit Public Television will carry a live feed of the event, scheduled to run from 11 a.m. to noon
