Three term Michigan Representative Elissa Slotkin announced today that she's a candidate for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Debbie Stabenow. Slotkin made the announcement in this partly biographical, partly issue focused video:
Slotkin would seem to be the ideal candidate for a state like Michigan. She's grounded in Michigan's economy and culture, served the country abroad honorably, wants to preserve and improve health care, and fight for gun safety measures. She has the essential quality of authenticity and honest passion for what she believes in. Win the primary election or not, she is a formidable candidate.
