BULLS EYE

When you're on top – or in this case, in positions of power – there's always someone looking to take you down. That is what Congresswomen Haley Stevens (D-Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, western Oakland and Wayne counties) and Elissa Slotkin are discovering as the Republican National Committee (RNC) launched a six-figure ad buy targeting them, along with 18 other congressional Democrats, telling their constituents to pressure them to approve the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). “Unfortunately, Democrats like Elissa Slotkin and Haley Stevens have continued to stonewall any progress toward signing the deal into law, siding with Nancy Pelosi over Michigan families,” said Michael Joyce of the RNC. In response, Stevens announced she had raised more than $725,000 in the second quarter of 2019 for her 2020 re-election campaign, bringing her 2019 haul to almost $1.3 million so far, with over $1 million cash-on-hand. "I am so grateful for the incredible outpouring of grassroots support we have received so far this year,” Stevens said.
