Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens is the latest entrant into the open Senate race in Michigan.
The fourth-term congresswoman on Tuesday joined a growing field of candidates looking to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters in the pivotal swing state. Stevens is the third high-profile Democrat to launch a bid, with a competitive primary already taking shape.
In a biographical video accompanying her announcement, Stevens touts her upbringing in Michigan, as well as her work in the Obama administration as chief of staff for the program that provided rescue funds to the auto industry, a theme that’s likely to be a throughline of her campaign.
