Democratic Senator Gary Peters announces he will not seek re-election in pivotal Michigan race


Democratic Sen. Gary Peters announced he will not run for re-election in Michigan in 2026, creating an open-seat election in a key swing state. Peters cited a desire to pass the reins to the next generation as the reason for his decision. His retirement will impact control of the Senate and Michigan’s race for governor. The race for Senate is expected to be competitive, with many potential candidates from both parties considering running. Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson will not run, leaving room for other candidates like Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist and former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. On the Republican side, potential candidates include former Rep. Mike Rogers and Rep. Bill Huizenga. Various other politicians on both sides may also consider entering the race. Peters had a challenging political career, including tough election fights in Michigan. He served in Congress since 2009, winning a House race and replacing retiring Sen. Carl Levin in 2014. Peters held key committee positions and led the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Politicians like Buttigieg and James are considering Senate bids, which could shape the race. Peters’ retirement creates an opportunity for new leadership in Michigan politics, with potential for significant competition and changes in the state’s political landscape.
