Detroit Regional Chamber PAC 2024 Bipartisan General Election Endorsements

September 26, 2024

Today, the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Political Action Committee (PAC) announced its bipartisan endorsements for the November 2024 general elections in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Michigan House of Representatives, and the Detroit Public Schools Community District Board. With these selections, the Chamber PAC continues its commitment to endorsing a bipartisan, balanced slate of candidates that support policies that maintain a thriving regional and statewide business community.

The Chamber will make a separate statement at a later date regarding the U.S. Senate seat.

Brad Williams

“With the Chamber’s recent polling with the Glengariff Group showing eroding confidence in democracy, it is more important than ever for businesses to encourage secure elections, informed civic engagement, and trustworthy government. The Chamber embraces that responsibility as Michigan’s largest bipartisan advocate for business in government and with its PAC endorsements for the November general election. The slate of candidates endorsed today reflects the consensus opinion of the bipartisan Chamber PAC Board of Directors and comprises exceptional publicly engaged business leaders who represent our members’ needs and for whom Michiganders can be proud to vote.”

– Brad Williams, Vice President of Political Affairs, Detroit Regional Chamber

U.S. House of Representatives 

1st Congressional District – Rep. Jack Bergman (R) 

“Congressman Jack Bergman is a tireless champion for the Great Lakes, veterans, and the upper Midwest’s economic vitality. His continued leadership will be valued in 2025,” said Williams. 

2nd Congressional District – Rep. John Moolenaar (R) 

“Congressman John Moolenaar has used his role on the powerful House Appropriations Committee to advocate for Michigan’s food and agriculture economy. Mid-Michigan is well represented by his leadership,” said Williams. 

4th Congressional District – Rep. Bill Huizenga (R) 

“The Chair of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the Financial Services Committee, Congressman Bill Huizenga, is guided by his conservative values while modeling the same bipartisan instincts that made former Congressman Fred Upton successful in Southwest Michigan for so many years,” said Williams.  

5th Congressional District – Rep. Tim Walberg (R) 

“The dean of the delegation and a member of the bipartisan Energy and Commerce Committee, Congressman Tim Walberg embodies bipartisanship by working across the aisle to get things done on broadband, Great Lakes, energy, and more,” said Williams. 

6th Congressional District – Rep. Debbie Dingell (D) 

“Congresswoman Debbie Dingell’s reputation for excellent public service precedes her. She brings an intimate understanding of the Detroit Region’s signature industry and business community to Washington and continues to serve us well,” said Williams. ”The Chamber values Congresswoman Dingell’s long-time partnership and support as a former Chamber Board of Directors member, her professional background in the automotive industry, and public service even beyond her time in Congress.”

7th Congressional District – Former State Sen. Curtis Hertel Jr. (D) 

“Sen. Curtis Hertel’s experience as a policymaker who finds the ‘spaces in between’ to ensure that Michigan can move forward is what the state needs in Washington,” Williams said. 

8th Congressional District – State Sen. Kristen McDonald Rivet (D) 

“Sen. Kristen McDonald Rivet brings valuable experience as a bipartisan policymaker and from the private sector that adds to her ability to understand employers’ needs,” Williams said.  

9th Congressional District – Rep. Lisa McClain (R) 

“Congresswoman Lisa McClain has effectively used her position as the Secretary of the Republican Study Committee to move forward Michigan’s interests and lead on issues like agriculture and financial services,” said Williams. “Congresswoman McClain is a strong representative of her constituents’ interests in Washington and ensures that their priorities intersect with those of the business community.” 

10th Congressional District – Rep. John James (R) 

“Congressman John James has proven to be one of the most effective and bipartisan members of the Michigan delegation, passing six pieces of legislation in his first term. He is also the first freshman appointed to the Energy and Commerce Committee since 2011. His leadership will be valuable to Michiganders for years to come,” Williams said. 

11th Congressional District – Rep. Haley Stevens (D)
“Congresswoman Haley Stevens is a fierce champion for her district, Michigan, and the auto industry, on which she is an expert. Her commonsense leadership continues to serve Oakland County well,” Williams said. “Michigan benefits from having a champion of next-generation innovation and the jobs that support that innovation in Congresswoman Stevens.” 

“Most Michigan voters have the opportunity to re-elect statewide policymakers who have already earned their support. This slate of endorsed candidates includes leaders who consistently demonstrate a willingness to meet Michigan’s moment and find solutions to our state’s challenges. The Chamber looks forward to their continued service.”
