Elissa Slotkin announces candidacy for open Senate seat in Michigan

Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., announced that she is running to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate on Monday.

Slotkin is running to replace Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., who announced last week that she does not plan to run for re-election.

“Today, I’m announcing my run to be Michigan’s next U.S. Senator,” Slotkin wrote in a statement. “We need a new generation of leaders that thinks differently, works harder, and never forgets that we are public servants.”
