2022 LIFEBLOOD
Let’s talk campaign money, and lot’s of it, starting with Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin (D-Rochester, Rochester Hills, northern Oakland, parts of Livingston and Ingham counties) who, in the recent campaign donation reporting period, which ended June 30, hauled in $1,048,232. This is not out of the ordinary for the prolific fundraiser, who consistently vows not to take corporate PAC dollars. Slotkin reported she has raised $2 million this election cycle, and currently has $3.1 million cash-on-hand. Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Troy, Commerce, western Oakland and Wayne counties) raised $706,514, for a total of $1,353,632 in this election cycle, and has $1.1 million cash-on-hand. Fellow Congressman Andy Levin (D-Bloomfield Township, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Huntington Woods, parts of Macomb County) raised $50,844 during the second quarter, for $952,031 in this election cycle, and has $453,368 cash-on-hand. On the state level, state House Rep. Mari Manoogian (D-Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township, West Bloomfield) raised $41,272 this cycle, and is sitting on over $52,000 cash-on-hand. State Senator Mallory McMorrow (D-Royal Oak, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Rochester, Rochester Hills) raised almost $25,000 this quarter, for $116,163 this campaign cycle. She has $50,000 cash-on-hand. Fellow state Senator Rosemary Bayer (D-Beverly Hills, Bloomfield Township, Franklin, Clarkston, Lake Orion) raised $63,756 this quarter, and $120,461 this election cycle. She has $88,847 cash-on-hand. All those dollars will come in handy not only for potential challengers, but in dealing with upcoming redistricting, which won’t be known for several months.
