MI-SEN: Voting rights group endorses Haley Stevens in Michigan's U.S. Senate race
U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens has picked up a key endorsement in her campaign for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat. Defend the Vote, a national organization focused on safeguarding voting rights and strengthening democracy, announced its support for Stevens on Thursday.
“Haley Stevens understands the system is stacked against working people and that Michiganders have had enough,” Brian Lemek, the group’s executive director, said in a release Thursday. “She’ll fight to rebuild our democracy so it serves all of us, not just billionaires. We desperately need her energy, leadership, and change to get our country back on track.”
Stevens (D-Birmingham) is among several high-profile Democrats seeking the nomination to run for U.S. Senate, including state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D-Royal Oak), former Michigan House Speaker Joe Tate (D-Detroit) and former Wayne County Health Director Abdul El-Sayed. On the Republican side, former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-White Lake) launched another bid, after losing to now-U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Holly) by just over 19,000 votes in 2024.
In response to the endorsement, Stevens emphasized her commitment to voting rights and democratic values.
