Oakland County Rep. Haley Stevens Won't Run For U.S. Senate, She Says

OAKLAND COUNTY, MI — Oakland County Congresswoman Haley Stevens said she won't run for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat in 2024.

Sen. Debbie Stabbenow (D-MI) announced in January she would seek reelection to the seat in 2024, sending shockwaves through Michigan's political class. She was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000.

"I am unbelievably proud to represent Oakland County in Congress, the economic engine of the Midwest," Stevens said. "After deep consideration, I have decided that I can best serve Michigan's working families, manufacturers, students, and small businesses in my current role."

Stevens was first elected to the U.S. Congress in 2018, promising "to be a champion for Michigan manufacturers and innovators who are building America's future here in the heartland."

Stevens won reelection to the U.S. House in 2022 in a landslide victory after winning a tough Democratic primary against former Oakland County Representative Democrat Andy Levin.
