DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – The field of candidates for the open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan continues to grow. Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, who ran for governor in 2022 but was bounced from the primary ballot for invalid petition signatures, is running for the U.S. Senate in 2024.

Craig joins former fellow GOP contender U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers who announced his bid earlier this month.  Several others have thrown their hat in the ring. On the Democratic side, U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin is hoping to step into current U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow’s shoes.
