MI-SD35: Pete Buttigieg campaigns with Chedrick Greene for race to determine control of the Michigan Senate

He also contrasted Greene, who lives and works in the district and is a fire captain in Saginaw, with what he called the “millionaires club” of the Trump administration, saying that Greene “does live and breathes what people are going through and understands what really matters”

Greene also took time during the event to discuss his motivations for why he sought this seat in the first place, pitching himself as a leader for the whole district.

“I’m here to be the leader, to sacrifice myself for all of you who chose to be here today, for those who didn’t choose here to be here today, those who couldn’t be here today and those that don’t want me to be here today, that is why I’m running for the Michigan State Senate in the 35th District,” he said.

Some have called the May election, in which Greene is running against lawyer Jason Tunney, a crucial bellwether for the upcoming 2026 midterm elections on both the state and federal level — especially after Democrats nationally took impressive wins during the November 2025 general election and have continued with momentum in special elections since.
