HALEY’S HEADLINE HOT STREAK: Stevens Racks Up “Major” Endorsement, Commands a Lead in Primary Polling

7/15/2026

DETROIT, MI – Haley Stevens continues to build momentum heading into the final stretch, earning wall-to-wall coverage across Michigan following Senator Gary Peters’ “major” endorsement and a new poll from the Detroit News/WDIV that shows her “[open[ing] a lead over El-Sayed](https://www.crainsdetroit.com/politics-policy/cdb-michigan-us-senate-democratic-poll-20260714/)” – cementing her status as the strongest Democrat to hold Michigan’s Senate seat and beat Mike Rogers in November.

Peters praised Haley as a “workhorse” who “will be ready on day one to fight for Michigan,” and a “proven candidate who’s been able to win tough elections, able to get support from a broad cross section of voters.” Meanwhile, the new Detroit News/WDIV poll shows her “with a 20 point lead on standing up to Trump and a 17 point leaders with voters who say ‘they need to beat Mike Rogers’” – “the top two factors” voters listed in making their decision.

All the while, Haley has been busy campaigning across the state – meeting with Michiganders in Lansing, West Michigan, and across Metro Detroit with just under three weeks left until primary day – emphasizing her fight for Michigan’s small businesses, manufacturers, and families and highlighting why she is the strongest candidate to defeat Mike Rogers in November. 

Here is what Michiganders are reading and seeing about Haley Stevens’ banner week:
