Sen. Debbie Stabenow will not seek reelection in 2024, the longtime Michigan Democrat said Thursday.

“Inspired by a new generation of leaders, I have decided to pass the torch in the U.S. Senate. I am announcing today that I will not seek re-election and will leave the U.S. Senate at the end of my term on January 3, 2025,” she said in a statement.

Stabenow, 72, was first elected to the US Senate in 2000 and is a member of the Senate Democratic leadership as chair of the policy and communications committee.
