Michigan: Ex-Police Chief Craig Looking Toward Senate: In 2022, retired Detroit Police Chief James Craig (R) had planned to enter the Michigan Governor’s race but failed to submit the required number of valid petition signatures. Now, reports are surfacing that Mr. Craig is considering entering the open US Senate race. At this point, Michigan School Board member Nikki Snyder is the only Republican current or former elected official to declare for the race. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Lansing) is the most well-known Democrat to step forward.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D) is not seeking a fifth term. Democrats will be favored to retain the open Michigan seat, but another close election result is expected. Pennsylvania: Sen. Casey Announces: Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. (D) indicated his re-election plans were on hold until he received a clean bill of health from his surgeon. Earlier in the year, Sen. Casey underwent surgery to eradicate cancer in his prostate. Apparently, the Senator has received positive reports from his healthcare physicians because yesterday he announced his re-election effort. Sen. Casey, who is the son of the late former Pennsylvania Governor Bob Casey, Sr., was first elected in 2006, defeating then-Sen. Rick Santorum (R). He was re-elected in 2012 and 2018 with 54 and 56% of the vote, respectively. He will again be favored to clinch a fourth term next year. Comments are closed.
