LANSING, Mich. (WZMQ) – U.S. Congresswoman Haley Stevens has announced a campaign to fill Michigan’s second Senate seat in D.C.. Senator Gary Peters announced he would not be running for reelection in January, and four months later, four candidates have already stepped forward.
Stevens is the third Democrat to announce they are running for the seat, She’ll be on the primary ticket with state Senator Mallory McMorrow and former Wayne County health director Abdul El-Sayed. On the Republican side, Mike Rogers, who ran against Senator Elissa Slotkin last fall, is taking another shot at a spot in the U.S. Senate.
Stevens announced her campaign in a release early Tuesday morning: “Today, Haley Stevens launched her campaign for the U.S. Senate to fight the chaos and uncertainty of the Trump Administration and always stand up for Michigan.”
“Born and raised in Michigan, Haley began her public service by fighting for Michigan’s manufacturing industry and jobs. During the Great Recession, she served as Chief of Staff to President Obama’s auto rescue, playing a critical role in stabilizing the auto industry and saving 200,000 Michigan jobs. After she flipped a Republican-held seat in 2018, Haley has fought in the halls of Congress to grow Michigans’ manufacturing economy, bring down costs, and helped write the law to bring America’s semiconductor industry back to where it belongs: Michigan. And as Donald Trump and Elon Musk attack the services Michiganders need, Haley is fighting to protect Michiganders and introduced legislation to ensure Musk cannot access Michiganders’ private financial data.
As Michigan’s next Senator, Haley will work to bring down costs for Michigan families, continue to boost Michigan’s manufacturing and auto industries, and stand up to the Trump-Musk chaos agenda.”
The Senate election will be on the 2026 ballot alongside Michigan’s state House, Senate, Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State.
