MI-13: Black Caucus members look to replace Detroit lawmaker with new Black member
Leaders within the Congressional Black Caucus threw their support behind Democratic candidate Adam Hollier on Friday in Detroit’s primary election in the hopes of ousting Democratic incumbent Shri Thanedar.
CBC chair Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) and former chair Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) joined a growing list of Democrats to back Hollier, who has already received endorsements from Michigan’s secretary of state, the state’s House Speaker and other members of the state Legislature.
Horsford said Hollier, an Army veteran and the director of the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency, has spent his life serving his community and his country.
“I know he will continue that service as an effective representative and put people over politics,” Horsford said in a statement. “Adam is the kind of leader who understands the importance of protecting our freedoms, fighting for our rights, and ensuring opportunities for everyone.”
