Peters backs Stevens in Michigan Senate primary, touting experience and electability
TL;DR Summary
Sen. Gary Peters endorsed Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, calling her a proven fighter who can win in a purple state and should hit the ground running. The move comes as Stevens faces Abdul El-Sayed in the Aug. 4 primary, with Peters arguing the party needs a candidate who can appeal to independents against Republican Mike Rogers. Stevens is backed by former Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Gov. Jennifer Granholm, while El-Sayed is supported by Bernie Sanders and AOC; Peters says he’ll support the eventual winner and could serve as a surrogate.
