Statement: Michigan Dems Chair Congratulates U.S. Senator-Elect Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin

LANSING — On Nov 6th, Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lavora Barnes issued the following statement on Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin’s victory in the U.S. Senate race:

“Michiganders across the state made their voices heard and elected Elissa Slotkin to be our next U.S. Senator. Elissa Slotkin’s track record is clear – she is a proven champion for Michigan. 

“From fighting to lower the cost of prescription drugs to creating good-paying jobs and fighting back against dangerous abortion bans, Elissa will get things done for Michigan families. There’s no one better prepared to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate. 

“Michiganders rejected an anti-abortion extremist who was only in this race for himself in favor of Elissa, who has spent her career serving our country and will continue to do so as our next Senator.”
