U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Birmingham) received support from a key arm of the Michigan Democratic Party on Friday with an endorsement from the state’s Black Caucus.

“Our Caucus exists to advance the interests and concerns of African Americans across Michigan – ensuring equitable access to education, homeownership, economic opportunity, and the full promise of the American Dream,” Caucus Chairman Keith Williams said in a statement. “Congresswoman Stevens embodies these values and has proven, through both her record and her vision, that she meets our high standards. We believe that with her leadership and vision, she will be a powerful advocate for our communities and help pave the way toward a more equitable, prosperous Michigan.”

In the race to succeed U.S. Sen. Gary Peters of Bloomfield Township, Steven’s campaign last week also announced the endorsement by Reps. Helena Scott (D-Detroit), Tyrone Carter (D-Detroit), Amos O’Neal (D-Saginaw) and Brenda Carter (D-Pontiac).

Stevens also previously garnered support from former Michigan House Speaker Joe Tate (D-Detroit), U.S Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-Grand Rapids), and former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), among others. 

Stevens will face state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D-Royal Oak) and former Wayne County Health Director Abdul El-Sayed, who unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2018, in the August 2026 Democratic primary.

On the Republican side, former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (D-White Lake) is the sole candidate seeking the nomination.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report has rated the 2026 Senate race a “toss up” between the two parties.
