Adam Hollier suspended his campaign for Michigan secretary of state and announced a run for state Senate District 3. The former state senator said he wants to help ensure strong Black leadership and representation in the state.
Hollier announced that he was ending his secretary of state campaign and seeking election to Michigan’s State Senate District 3, which includes Hamtramck, Highland Park and Detroit’s east side. He previously represented District 2 in the state Senate from 2018 to 2023. Hollier said the campaign change was about ensuring “strong Black leadership” and representation in November.
Hollier’s earlier campaign for U.S. Congress ended after he failed to secure enough valid voter signatures; Shri Thanedar became the nominee and won. Hollier also cited his prior legislative work and President Donald Trump’s return to office as reasons for seeking to serve again. He was recently tapped by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to direct Michigan’s Veterans Affairs Agency.
