Congresswoman Underwood: “Haley will continue to deliver for Michigan in the Senate”

DETROIT, MI –– Today, Congresswoman Lauren Underwood, representative for Illinois’s 14th Congressional District, endorsed Haley Stevens for Senate, citing her long track record of fighting and delivering for Michiganders’ health care, personal freedoms, and cost of living. 

“Haley has been a champion for Michigan her entire career, and I know she will continue to deliver for her home state in the Senate. It has been my honor to fight alongside Haley as she stands up for Michiganders’ health care and freedoms,” said Congresswoman Underwood. “I’m proud to endorse my friend Haley and look forward to continuing this fight with her as Michigan’s next Senator.” 

“Congresswoman Underwood is an effective, smart, and dedicated public servant who I am proud to call my friend,” said Congresswoman Haley Stevens. “I am honored to have her by my side in this race to defeat Mike Rogers and win for Michigan in the Senate.”

Haley continues to build the infrastructure to win statewide in Michigan and gain momentum. She is the only candidate in this race with the endorsement of multiple labor unions. So far, Haley has been endorsed by Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Local 2, IronWorkers Local 25, Teamsters Local 243, UNITE HERE Local 24, Pipefitters, Steamfitters, Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Service Local Union 636, former state House Speaker Joe Tate, Congresswoman Hillary Scholten, the Mayors of Lansing and Grand Rapids, 11 mayors across Metro Detroit, 12 Oakland County elected officials and community leaders, 40 clergy members across Michigan, the Michigan Democratic Party Black Caucus, Reps.

Haley’s strength comes from her relentless focus on protecting and growing Michigan manufacturing, fighting Trump’s reckless tariffs that undermine Michigan industries and jobs while increasing costs, and working to make groceries and health care more affordable for Michiganders. Haley was named the most effective Democratic member of Congress from Michigan and the most effective Democrat in the entire Congress on technology issues. She’ll continue that record of winning for Michigan to the U.S. Senate.
