Democrat Elissa Slotkin and Republican Mike Rogers secured their nominations in the U.S. Senate Race in Tuesday's Primary Election.

Local Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin secured the Democratic nomination while Mike Rogers, a former congressman from the Brighton-Howell area, secured the Republican nomination.

Both were considered the front runners but faced underdog challengers.


Slotkin faced Actor/Activist Hill Harper. Rogers, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, was up against former U.S. Representative Justin Amash and Physician Sherry O’Donnell.

The candidates are vying for a seat left open by longtime Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow, who is retiring and stepping down after 24 years.
