Stevens said she’s “honored” by the endorsement. “Senator Peters knows what it takes to win in Michigan, and he knows what Michigan needs from our next U.S. Senator: grit, effectiveness, hard work, and Michigan common sense. I am honored to have his support in this campaign.”
Stevens has served in Congress since being elected in 2018. She is running against progressive Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic primary. State Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D-Royal Oak) dropped out last week.
The winner will face GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers who is running unopposed in the Republican primary.
