We’ve always known that an open Senate seat in a swing state would be close. But today, a new poll just proved that out.
New EPIC/MRA poll of Michigan shows a potential Republican candidate in a dead heat with Elissa:
2024 Senate
Elissa Slotkin (D) 40%
James Craig (R) 39%
Undecided: 21%
|
Despite the great success Michigan Democrats have had recently, all Michiganders know it’s not at all permanent: Michigan is a swingy state that can go back and forth from Democrat to Republican if we don’t stay sharp and organized.
While it’s clear this race will be our toughest fight yet, Elissa is no stranger to tough races, and we know exactly what it will take to win. She’s won three tough elections in five years, and she has a serious, data-informed plan to win.
That’s why we’ve started building a foundation early to reach voters in every corner of Michigan and educate them on Elissa’s background, and why she’s the best person to represent our state in the U.S. Senate.
This poll shows that right now, 21% of Michigan voters are undecided, so there’s still a lot of work we have to do to win. We need to get to these folks through TV ads, digital outreach, and by expanding our ground game to meet people where they are.
But the stakes are high – this poll proves that Democrats’ majority in the Senate will come down to what happens right here in Michigan. We can’t take anything for granted, and we can’t take our foot off the gas.
This news couldn’t have come at a more important time. In just a few days, we’ll be facing our second public FEC deadline. And if we don’t put up a strong number, it’ll send a signal to National Republicans that this seat is possible to flip.
Our FEC deadline is June 30th. Will you split a donation between Elissa Slotkin’s campaign for Senate in Michigan and Fight for Progress today?

Thank you. We couldn’t do any of this without you,
Team Slotkin
