Michigan will elect one U.S. Senator and 13 members of its U.S. House delegation.
In the U.S. Senate race, which is competitive according to The Cook Political Report, Mallory McMorrow with over $8.4M, leads the money race for the seat; McMorrow also has raised the most nationally for Democratic women senate candidates. Another woman, Haley Stevens, also a Democrat, has raised over $6.4M. With over $4.5M, Mike Rogers dominates the money race on the Republican side. Thirty-five percent of his funds come from small contributions. Campaign finance data is available for two Republican women: Genevieve Scott and Bernadette Smith; however, they have raised much less than Rogers. Sixty-four percent of Scott’s funds come from self-financing; she has raised $75,876.
Representatives Hillary Scholten (MI-3), Debbie Dingell (MI-6), Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-8), Lisa McClain (MI-9), and Rashida Tlaib (MI -12) are running for reelection. McClain, with nearly $2.2M raised, is a Republican; all the other women incumbents are Democrats. McDonald Rivet has raised the most of the women incumbents with over $2.7M.
The Cook Political Report considers MI-7 a “Toss Up Republican." This race features Representative Tom Barrett (R) with over $2.5M. Over half of Barrett’s funds come from small contributions. The lone Democratic woman with campaign finance data, Bridget Brink, leads the money race for Democratic candidates with over $2.2M raised. About one-quarter of her funds come from small contributions. About half of McMorrow’s (D) contributions take the form of small donations.
In MI-10, which The Cook Political Report considers a “Lean Republican” seat, is an open seat. Only one of 11 candidates with campaign finance data is a woman: Democrat Christina Hines, with $837,483. Eric Chung (D) has raised the most of all the candidates with nearly $1.4M.
MI-11 is a solid Democratic seat, according to The Cook Political Report. Campaign finance data are almost solely for men candidates; one woman, Democrat Aisha Farooqi, has raised $261,860 for the open seat. But she trails most of the other candidates in fundraising.
This statistic is the average total amount raised to date from individuals (including self-financing).
Of the open-seat U.S. House races in Michigan, Republican men have the highest average percentage of funds from self-financing (24%)—higher than the average proportion for Democratic men and Democratic women. No Republican women reported campaign finance data for these races.
Representative Lisa McClain (MI-9), the only Republican woman incumbent, has the highest proportion of funds from small contributions of the women incumbents seeking reelection. Representative Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) has the highest percentage of the Democratic women seeking reelection, with 35% of her funds taking the form of self-financing.
This statistic is the average amount from self-financing as a proportion of total raised (from individuals including the candidate) by candidate subgroup. Primary challengers to incumbents are excluded.
