DETROIT — Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist announced Sunday that he has decided against a campaign for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat in 2024.
The Detroit Democrat, 40, had been considered a potential candidate to run for U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow's seat after Stabenow announced last month that she won't run for reelection next year when her term ends.
"Serving our state in Washington, DC would be a great opportunity, but instead I will keep standing tall for Michigan, right here at home, as Lieutenant Governor," Gilchrist tweeted. "The Governor & I have more work to do. I look forward to working with our next US Senator to get it done."
