Michigan Democrats Celebrate Chedrick Greene’s State Senate Special Election Victory
Democratic firefighter Chedrick Greene won a special election for a Michigan state Senate seat, delivering another over-performance for his party. He defeated GOP lawyer Jason Tunney by 19 points with about 93% of votes counted. The district had been evenly split in the last presidential contest, where Vice President Kamala Harris carried it by less than one percentage point in 2024. Greene’s win keeps control of the state Senate with the Democrats and underscores their momentum in battleground states. Greene ran on his background as a Marine veteran and fire captain, focusing on affordability, safety and freedom. In his victory speech, he said, “We delivered this decisive victory by listening to the things keeping everyday people up at night.” Some commentators view this result as a wake-up call for former President Trump, suggesting he may be losing ground ahead of the midterm elections.
