Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin announced she's running for retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow's seat in 2024, making her the first Democrat to declare a bid for the battleground state. Slotkin joins two Republicans to announce a bid.
In her announcement video, she says her call to public service came on Sept. 11, 2001, when she was just two days into grad school in New York City."By the time the smoke cleared, I knew I wanted a career in public service protecting my country," Slotkin remembered.
According to her House biography page, Slotkin was recruited to serve overseas as an analyst with the Central Intelligence Agency, including three tours in Iraq, under then-Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.Stabenow, who turns 73 this April, has held her seat since 2000, when she became the first woman from Michigan to serve in the Senate. Before Stabenow ran for Senate, she served in the House representing the same district Slotkin represents now.
Berg continued:"This could be the first of many Senate Democrats who decide to retire rather than lose."
