Highlights:
"When Elissa Slotkin made her political debut in 2018 as a candidate for the U.S. Congress' 8th District, she was one of the best qualified candidates this newspaper's editorial board had ever seen."
"Six years in the House of Representatives have only enhanced her formidable talents. Michigan voters should not hesitate to choose Elissa Slotkin in the Aug. 6 Democratic primary."
"For 24 years, Stabenow carried that mantle, patiently building relationships across the aisle, even during times of great political stress, that enabled the passage of essential legislation — like the agricultural bills that provide subsidies to Michigan farmers and food assistance to Michiganders in need. Slotkin is eminently qualified by any measure, and we believe she is also the candidate most suited to carry on this tradition of service."
"Slotkin says she's held 80 community meetings in Detroit, most of them not for media consumption, because she wants to get to know the communities she hopes to represent. 'It is completely clear when you walk into a community event in Detroit that a cloud hangs over the city because for the first time in over 65 years, there's no African American representative of the city at the federal level,' she said. 'The community is very used to white politicians coming in before an election promising the world, and then never showing up again. So that's what I acknowledge right up front. And while I can't prove to people what I'll do after I'm elected, what I can prove is that I can ... show up and show up and show up ahead of time, and take the lessons that I'm learning into my current life as a legislator.' Her efforts convinced the influential Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity, which endorsed her last week."
"It's pragmatism tempered by empathy, and we can't help but think that in an increasingly contentious U.S. Senate, Slotkin's approach will bear fruit for Michiganders."
