U.S. Senate candidate Hill Harper, along with 8th Congressional District candidate Pamela Pugh and 13th Congressional District candidate Mary Waters face uphill fights in the August Democratic Primary.

Incumbent Rep. Dan Kildee's decision not to seek re-election in 2024 could possibly put at risk a half century of Democratic control of the seat representing Flint.

Without a Kildee on the November ballot, Republicans have high hopes of winning a seat Democrats have held for more than half a century.

Nikki Snyder is a member of the state Board of Education. She had been running for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Debbie Stabenow.

McDonald Rivet, who is in her first Senate term, is part of a crowded Democratic field that also includes Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley, Michigan State Board of Education President Pamela Pugh and Michigan Association of Conservation Districts Executive Director Dan Moilanen.

Matt Collier has a varied resume. He’s a West Point graduate who served as an Army Airborne Ranger. He’s worked in the private sector and as an Obama administration appointee.
