Democrats Hold Michigan State Senate Seat in Special Election Win
Democrat Chedrick Greene has secured a victory in a special state Senate election in Michigan, reinforcing his party’s control over the narrowly divided chamber. Greene, a Marine veteran and firefighter, defeated Republican Jason Tunney, a former prosecutor, in a race to fill the seat vacated by U.S. Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. This win maintains the Democratic majority at 20-18 in the state Senate, a significant outcome in a key battleground state where Democrats also hold the governorship. Greene’s performance mirrored a trend of Democratic outperformance in special elections, as he carried the 35th Senate District by a substantial margin.
