Chedrick Greene Wins Michigan's 35th Senate District, Secures Democratic Majority
Chedrick Greene, a Marine veteran and fire captain, has won the special election for Michigan's 35th Senate District, which includes parts of Saginaw, Midland, and Bay counties. This victory ends a vacancy that lasted over a year after Kristen McDonald Rivet left the seat to join the U.S. House of Representatives. Greene's campaign focused on providing tax breaks for vulnerable populations, making housing more affordable, creating better-paying jobs, and protecting Medicaid and funding for education. His opponent, Jason Tunney, a Saginaw attorney, campaigned on reducing taxes and increasing government transparency. Greene's win maintains the Democratic majority in the Michigan state Senate and marks him as the first African American to hold this seat.
