Sen. Debbie Stabenow said Thursday she won’t seek reelection in 2024, creating an open Senate seat in the swing state of Michigan.
“When my term ends, I intend to begin a new chapter in my life that includes continuing to serve our State outside of elected office while spending precious time with my amazing 96-year-old mom and my wonderful family," she added.
The 72-year-old’s decision to leave Congress is in part tied to wanting to give a new generation the opportunity to lead. “Under the cloud of unprecedented threats to our democracy and our basic freedoms, a record-breaking number of people voted last year in Michigan," she said. “Young people showed up like never before. This was a very hopeful sign for our future.”When elected in 2000, Stabenow became the first woman from Michigan elected to the Senate. She has spent much of her time in Washington focused on boosting her home state’s auto industry.
