MI-SEN: Michigan's 'toss up' US Senate race draws donors from other states [View all]
In Michigan’s closely watched US Senate race to replace retiring Democrat Gary Peters, three Democratic contenders are locked in a close fundraising battle ahead of the August 2026 primary.
US Rep. Haley Stevens of Birmingham led the Democratic field by raising $1.84 million for the quarter. Abdul El-Sayed of Ann Arbor, a former public health official, was close behind with $1.77 million in donations. State Sen. Mallory McMorrow or Royal Oak raised $1.70 million.
Republican Mike Rogers of White Lake Township, the party’s 2024 nominee who is not facing significant primary opposition as he runs again, raised less than his Democratic counterparts.
But he ended the period in a strong position with $2.7 million in cash reserves, topping all Democratic candidates, including Stevens at $2.6 million, El-Sayed at $1.8 million and McMorrow at 1.5 million.
