Haley Stevens

Haley Maria Stevens[1] (born June 24, 1983) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative from Michigan's 11th congressional district since 2019.

A member of the Democratic Party, Stevens represents most of urbanized Oakland County, including many of Detroit's northern suburbs.

She announced her candidacy for the United States House of Representatives seat in Michigan's 11th congressional district in April 2017.

[7] Her victory, and that of Elissa Slotkin in the neighboring 8th district, made it the first time since the 1930s that no Republicans represented Oakland County in the House.

Stevens and Colin Allred, both alumni of the Obama administration, were selected as co-presidents of the House Democratic freshman class of the 116th United States Congress.

[16][17][18] Changes in generational and gender dynamics are also said to have played an important role, with a long term Oakland Democrat trend to favor women, and the impact of the Supreme Court's overturning the Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey precedents regarding abortion.
