GOP Rep. John James won't seek Michigan's open Senate seat

Republican Rep. John James filed paperwork Friday to run for reelection to his Detroit-area House seat, opting against a campaign for the Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Debbie Stabenow in 2024.

James, a 41-year-old first-term representative and rising star in the party, had been considered one of Republicans' most promising potential Senate candidates. He ran unsuccessfully for the Senate twice before, losing to Stabenow in 2018 and to Democratic Sen. Gary Peters in 2020.
