“I know Mike Bloomberg will help grow Michigan’s manufacturing economy, because I worked with him in the past to create advanced manufacturing jobs,” said Stevens.

Bloomberg made a late entry into the 2020 primary race, officially launching his campaign in November. He’s sought to make up ground by not contesting the first four nominating states and instead blitzing Super Tuesday on March 3, when more than a dozen states hold primary contests. He has propped up his bid with an ad campaign backed by hundreds of millions of dollars.
He’s also been buoyed by a string of endorsements from front-line members of the House who face tough reelection bids, such as Stevens.
The Michigan congresswoman’s November race is rated as “lean Democratic” by The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election handicapper.
