Former Governor and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm
Former Michigan Governor and former U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm is endorsing Democratic Congress member Haley Stevens in the U.S. Senate race.
“Michigan’s next Senator needs to focus on Michigan jobs, Michigan manufacturing, bringing down costs for Michigan families and standing up for Michigan against Donald Trump’s recklessness. That’s Haley Stevens,” Granholm said in a statement.
“Haley's got Michigan grit, which I saw while she served as Chief of Staff to President Obama’s auto rescue and was a key member of the team that helped save 200,000 Michigan auto jobs. Now she’s taking on Trump to protect our auto industry from China, end his damaging tariffs and bring down costs for Michiganders. Haley delivers for Michigan and will beat Mike Rogers this November, and I couldn't be more proud to support her.”
The endorsement comes after former Sen. Debbie Stabenow announced her endorsement of Stevens earlier this month.
Stevens is competing in the Democratic primary against state Sen. Mallory McMorrow and Abdul El-Sayed.
A poll released last week and conducted by Mitchell Research & Communications on behalf of MIRS, a Lansing-based news service, showed El-Sayed with 28 percent support, compared to Stevens with 18 percent and McMorrow with 17 percent. Another 38 percent were undecided.
