Garlin Gilchrist(D-MI) should seek the Democratic nomination for the 2024 MI US Senate Election. [View all]

Garlin Gilchrist will be the 4th Black Democratic candidate for the 2024 MI US Senate Election whose first letter of the first name is the same as the first letter of the last name.
Hill Harper,Leslie Love,Pamela Pugh,and Garlin Gilchrist.
Garlin Gilchrist is a 2 term Lt Governor who has a strong political base in Detroit,MI. The Democratic nominee in the 2022 US Senate Election in PA(John Fetterman-D) and WI(Mandela Barnes-D) were Lt Governors when they won the Democratic nomination for the 2022 US Senate Election. MI is more Democratic than WI and PA. Mandela Barnes lost to Ron Johnson(a two term Republican incumbent) by a less than 1 percent margin.
The Republican nominee is either going to be-
Nikki Snyder
James Craig
Bill Huizenga
Pete Meijer
Mike Rogers
Bill Schuette
Gilchrist is a much stronger candidate than Snyder,Craig,Huizenga,Meijer,Rogers,and Schuette.
Gilchrist will face a tough challenge for the Democratic nomination in the 2026 MI Gubernatorial Election against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Attorney General Dana Nessel.
