- “Inspired by a new generation of leaders, I have decided to pass the torch in the U.S. Senate. I am announcing today that I will not seek re-election and will leave the U.S. Senate at the end of my term on January 3, 2025,” Stabenow announced in a statement.
- “For the next two years, I am intensely focused on continuing this important work to improve the lives of Michiganders. This includes leading the passage of the next five-year Farm Bill which determines our nation’s food and agriculture policies,” she added.
- Stabenow won re-election to a fourth term as senator in 2018 by 6.5 points. Republicans will seek to flip the seat but may face a strong challenge based on the 2022 midterm elections.
