Detroit, MI — Today, Hill Harper, candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, proudly announces that he has received the endorsement of the Southeast Michigan Chamber of Commerce’s Political Action Coalition.

“We are excited to endorse Hill Harper for the Democratic primary in the U.S. Senate campaign. His comprehensive understanding of economic issues, dedication to community engagement, and proven leadership make him the right choice for our endorsement of the Democratic side of the ticket,” said John Johnson, CEO of the Southeast Michigan Chamber of Commerce.

In response to the endorsement, Hill Harper expressed his gratitude, saying: “I am so grateful for the endorsement of the Southeast Michigan Chamber of Commerce’s Political Action Coalition. Their support demonstrates a shared vision for a future with thriving local communities and businesses and economic security for all Michiganders.”

Hill Harper is a candidate for the U.S. Senate aiming to provide Michiganders with economic security and real representation, prioritizing people over lobbyists and wealthy donors. A lawyer, actor, union organizer, cancer survivor, and single father who owns a popular coffee shop in Detroit, Harper was raised in the Midwest by two doctors. He learned the value of public service early, a commitment he has maintained throughout his diverse career, from Harvard Law School to acting and as a key surrogate for President Barack Obama. His service-oriented journey includes sitting on Obama’s Cancer Panel, writing empowering books for marginalized young people, and founding a charity for youth scholarships and mentorships. Harper’s Senate run is driven by a recognition that we need elected leaders who prioritize public service over personal ambition.
