WASHINGTON – Voters across Michigan have elected Elissa Slotkin to the U.S. Senate, holding a critical seat for Democrats. Representative Slotkin ran on a platform geared to lower costs for working families, and leaned into her record of delivering relief for parents and child care providers and supporting paid leave. 

CFFE PAC proudly endorsed Representative Slotkin earlier this year and knocked on 2,110,748 Michiganders’ doors in Macomb and Oakland counties and spoke with 194,411 voters about her commitment to passing policies that lower the cost of caregiving. 

Throughout her campaign, Elissa Slotkin has made lowering costs for Michiganders a key component of her message. In her pitch to voters, Representative Slotkin highlighted her track record of championing policies that address the high cost of care for working families – a fight she will continue as the next U.S. Senator from Michigan.

In the Senate, Representative Slotkin will serve as a steadfast champion for paid family and medical leave, federal investment in child care and care for the aging and disabled, and lower prescription drug costs. By choosing Representative Slotkin as their next senator, Michigan voters rejected Mike Rogers, and sent a clear message that they want leaders who understand their challenges and have a plan to provide the tools and opportunities for all communities to thrive. 

“Representative Slotkin made the care agenda central to her campaign, and CFFE PAC was proud to reinforce her message and strong track record at the doors with voters,” said Sondra Goldschein, Executive Director of CFFE PAC. “Michiganders are sending Representative Slotkin to the U.S. Senate with a clear mandate to continue the fight for paid family and medical leave, affordable child care and elder care, and policies that offer real solutions to families’ kitchen-table economic challenges.”

CFFE PAC and the Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy ran one of the country’s largest field operations this cycle, talking to voters in battleground states like Michigan about Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, Elissa Slotkin, and other Democrats in key races. Through robust door-to-door field and relational organizing programs, and paid advertising, CFFE PAC amplified Democrats’ plans to address top-of-mind issues and make lowering the costs of caregiving a core focus of races nationwide.

The Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy PAC (CFFE PAC) is fighting for a future where all people can afford to care for themselves and their loved ones. In the 2024 election cycle, CFFE PAC ran its largest-ever program communicating with voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Ohio, and Montana about where candidates stand on policies that ensure paid family and medical leave, provide affordable elder and child care, and lower the cost of prescription drugs. In 2022, CFFE PAC ran a $13.5 million program that delivered that message in four battleground states, and in 2020, CFFE PAC spent almost $18 million on a program in support of Joe Biden and U.S. Senate candidates that spanned Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Iowa, Montana, Virginia, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Florida and Georgia.
