SAGINAW — Tonight, Marine veteran, firefighter, and dedicated public servant Chedrick Greene resoundingly won the special election for the 35th state Senate District. In response, Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel released the following statement:
“Congratulations to Senator-elect Chedrick Greene on his resounding victory! The nation’s eyes were on Michigan for this special election, and voters saw that Chedrick is laser-focused on lowering costs, protecting freedoms, and stopping Trump’s attack on the working class. Republicans ran with their typical playbook of bending the knee to Trump and putting corporations over working people, and it failed—miserably. With gas prices spiking and grocery bills up, it’s clear that voters are fed up with Trump and Republicans’ cost-raising agenda.
“Senator-elect Greene’s victory is a monumental win for Michigan Democrats and ensures that the state Senate will continue to have a Democratic majority that is delivering for working people. The Michigan Democratic Party was proud to support Senator-elect Greene’s campaign and we organized tirelessly to reach voters and get out the vote across the district. I’d like to especially thank all of the volunteers and organizers who worked day in and day out over the past few months to help deliver this victory.
“As a veteran, firefighter, and union member, Senator-elect Greene’s background will serve him well as a state Senator and a leader we can look up to. We congratulate him on his hard-fought victory and look forward to working with him to deliver for the people of Michigan’s 35th Senate District.”
