WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund celebrated the Democratic primary victory of NewDem Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan’s 11th Congressional District. The NewDem Action Fund’s Independent Expenditure invested $50,000 in digital media to help secure this critical win for Rep. Stevens. Importantly, this is the third primary victory following an investment from the NewDem Action Fund’s Independent Expenditure.
“I’m so proud to congratulate my fellow NewDem and dear friend Rep. Haley Stevens on her tremendous Democratic primary victory this evening,” said NewDem Action Fund Chair Brad Schneider. “Rep. Stevens had the talent, dedication, and message necessary to win this race and this victory shows yet again that voters are excited about commonsense candidates committed to getting things done in Washington.”
“I am incredibly honored that the voters of Oakland County have put their trust in me as the Democratic nominee for Michigan’s 11th Congressional District,” said NewDem Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11). “Since flipping a seat from red to blue and coming to Congress in 2018, I have been laser focused on passing legislation that will strengthen America’s manufacturing sector, boost the economy in SE Michigan and reduce price pressures for hardworking families across our country. I am deeply grateful for all of the work that the New Democrat Coalition has done to further these goals alongside me and I look forward to continuing to work with Chairs DelBene and Schneider to deliver for the American people.”
This year, the NewDem Action Fund launched its first-ever Independent Expenditure. The primary victories of Reps. Haley Stevens (MI-11), Sean Casten (IL-06), and Shontel Brown (OH-11) prove that results-driven, NewDem candidates can run and win in red, purple, and blue districts in every community across the country.
