Michigan Democratic Party Statement on Sen. Carl Levin Declining to Seek Re-election
LANSING — The Michigan Democratic Party released
the following statement on U.S. Sen. Carl Levin’s announcement that he
will not seek re-election in 2014:
“Carl Levin is an icon of integrity and a model for distinguished
and courageous public service. For 34 years, Senator Levin has fought
for Michigan’s working families, and as Chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee he has stood up for our brave men and women in
uniform,” said Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lon Johnson. “For decades
he has sought truth and demanded accountability from special
interests. Today Senator Levin demonstrated his selfless commitment to
those principles, announcing that he will devote himself entirely to
serving the people of Michigan until his term ends in January 2015.
“There will be another day to discuss the 2014 election, but today I
join with all Michiganders in expressing my gratitude to my friend and
role model, Senator Carl Levin.”
