Former Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is backing Haley Stevens in Michigan’s contentious Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.
Granholm, who served as the state’s governor, highlighted Stevens’ dedication to the auto industry including her leading role in President Barack Obama’s auto industry bailout and her advocacy in the House against Chinese auto imports and tariffs.
“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 Tuesday statement.
“Haley delivers for Michigan and will beat Mike Rogers this November, and I couldn’t be more proud to support her,” she continued, referring to the former House lawmaker who is the leading contender in the Republican primary.
