MI-SEN: McDonald Rivet won't run for U.S. Senate in Michigan
Washington ― Michigan U.S. Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet has ruled out a run for U.S. Senate and will instead run for reelection to the House in her mid-Michigan district.
The first-term Democrat from Bay City had been actively exploring a Senate for at least the last month after Michigan's senior senator, Gary Peters, D-Bloomfield Township, announced he won't run for another six-year term.
"I love mid-Michigan, and representing our region in Congress is the honor of my lifetime. I first ran for office because too many families in our district work hard but struggle to get by, and now they are worried about what extreme proposals from D.C. would mean for their lives and their ability to make ends meet," McDonald Rivet said Thursday in a statement released first to The Detroit News.
"In this moment, each of us should put ourselves in the position that allows us to do the most good. So I am excited to run for re-election in our highly competitive district, help win back the House, and move an agenda that uplifts the working people in our communities."
