Axios: Pete Buttigieg taking "serious look" at Michigan Senate race in 2026


If Democrats have any hope of flipping the Senate in 2026, defending the open seat in Michigan is mission critical!

Pete Buttigieg is the former Transportation Secretary and a champion for Democratic causes like reproductive justice, LGBTQ+ rights, and affordable healthcare.

He’s also one of the best communicators in the Democratic Party, and would be a fierce advocate for working families in the Senate!

If he runs, Pete Buttigieg gives Dems one of our best chances at defending this seat en route to retaking the Senate.

But we want to know what you think, John. Do you think Pete Buttigieg should run for Senate in Michigan?

John, please take a moment to complete our Michigan Senate Survey to let us know who you want to run for Senate in Michigan. We want to get feedback from 10,000 Democrats in the next 24 hours who are ready to hold this seat and flip the U.S. Senate in 2026!
