State Senator Jeremy Moss (D-Bloomfield Township) won the hotly contested race for the Democratic nomination for the 11th district congressional seat to replace Congresswoman Haley Stevens in the August primary, all but assuring him of becoming the next congressman from Oakland County. Moss, 40, has worked his way up the old fashioned way – he originally was a Southfield city councilman, then a state House Representative before running for the state Senate in 2018. In 2022, he helped flip the state Senate Democratic for the first time since 1984, and he was made president pro tempore. He represents a new breed of politicians in many ways, as he is the first openly LGBTQ+ person elected to the Michigan Senate, and in November could be the first from Michigan elected to Congress. But he had more than door-to-door help in the primary. He was one of 11 House candidates endorsed and backed by the Democratic Majority for Israel PAC, which backs pro-Israel Democrats. According to Politico, DMFI, which launched in 2019, was spending in the “six to seven figures” between all 11 candidates. Moss also received $295,000 from Think Big, an independent Super PAC tied to tech and AI investors. According to reports, Think Big is funded by another PAC, Leading the Future, which is largely funded by venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, whose portfolio is known to be technology-heavy. The Detroit Free Press reported that this race was believed to be the only one Think Big to have invested in, and Moss has not stated an opinion on data centers or a position on AI. Andreesen and Horowitz have supported both Democrats and Republicans in past elections. Moss will face off against Republican Ethan Baker of Troy in the November general election.
