2 1 1 st District Current Senator: Coleman A. Young, Jr. (D-Detroit), (term-limited) Rep. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit) Nicholas Rivera (D), Admissions Counselor at Wayne State University Rep. Bettie Cook Scott (D-Detroit) Former Rep. Alberta Tinsley-Talabi (D-Detroit) Former Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Detroit). Rep. Tlaib s run is a possibility, but with Chang in the race it s questionable. Rico Razo, Mayor Mike Duggan s re-election campaign manager Denis Boismier, Gibraltar City Council President. Although Boismier is running for Gibraltar mayor this year, he may possibly join the race if the field becomes heavily saturated with Detroit candidates.

John Stewart Sean Brosnan, husband to Livonia City Council member Maureen Miller Brosnan Briand Meakin (R), Livonia City Council Rep. Laura Cox (R-Livonia) Rep. Cox seems to have had the nomination set, but with the recent announcement of U.S. Congressman David Trott s retirement, she is reportedly considering a run for the U.S. House. Further, some suspect she might be picked as Bill Schuette s running mate should he win the GOP gubernatorial nomination. If either pull her from the State Senate race, both former Rep. John Pastor and former Plymouth Township Supervisor, Shannon Price, are possible replacements.

9 8 8 th District Current Senator: Jack Brandenburg (R-Harrison Twp.), (termlimited) Rep. Peter Lucido (R-Shelby Twp.) Justin DeBoer (D) Former Rep.

Jim Tedder (R-Clarkston) Rosemary Bayer (D-Beverly Hills) Jeremy Ross Haines (D-Lake Orion) Kate Logan (D-Oxford) Rep. Mike McCready (R-Birmingham) The announcement of U.S. Congressman David Trott s retirement may have an impact on this race as Rep. Tedder, long considered a candidate for the Senate, may choose the U.S. House instead.

14 13 13 th District Current Senator: Marty Knollenberg (R-Troy), (Incumbent) Mallory McMorrow (D) James Sokoll (D) The announcement of U.S. Congressman David Trott s retirement may result in Sen. Knollenberg s decision to run for the U.S. House, leaving the 13 th District seat open. If that is the case, prospective candidates will include current Representatives Mike Webber (R-Rochester Hills) and Martin Howrylak (R-Troy). Furthermore, Rep. McCready may decide to run in the 13 th Senate District rather than moving to the 12 th ; however, none of the three are likely to challenge Sen. Knollenberg in a primary if he decides not to run for the U.S. House.

15 14 14 th District Current Senator: Dave Robertson (R-Grand Blanc), (termlimited) Secretary of State Ruth Johnson (R) Rep. Joe Graves (R-Argentine Twp.), unlikely Rep. Gail Haines (R-Waterford), unlikely

Klint Kesto (R-Commerce Twp.) Matt Maddock, unlikely since he is believed to be running for the State House. The announcement of U.S. Congressman David Trott s retirement will have an impact on this State Senate race as Rep. Kesto is likely to run for the U.S. House instead of the State Senate, potentially leaving an opening for an additional GOP candidate.

Aric Nesbitt (R-Lawton), current Michigan Lottery Director Bob Genetski (R-Saugatuck), current Allegan County Clerk The speculation over U.S. Congressman Fred Upton s consideration of a U.S. Senate candidacy may impact this race as Nesbitt is widely believed to favor a run for the U.S. House over the State Senate. Current State Rep. Mary Whiteford (R-Casco Twp.) is likely to run for the Senate if Nesbitt runs for the U.S. House. 27 th District Current Senator: Jim Ananich (D-Flint), (Incumbent) N/A N/A
