Hill Harper, a dedicated public servant, actor, renowned author, and passionate advocate, is running for U.S. Senate to represent the people of Michigan. He is running against his opponent, Elissa Slotkin, who is notably a former CIA analyst and current U.S. congresswoman. Hill aims to fill the seat of retiring Senator Debbie Stabenow, who has served with distinction since 2001. With a diverse and accomplished background, Hill Harper is uniquely positioned to bring fresh, dynamic leadership to Michigan. Born in Iowa, Hill Harper’s journey has been marked by resilience, excellence, and a commitment to service. As a graduate of Harvard Law School, where he was classmates with President Barack Obama, Hill has always been at the forefront of advocating for justice and equality. His deep ties to the community of Detroit, where he has lived for eight years and operated a small business for seven, underscore his commitment to the state he loves. Hill’s activism is further highlighted by his role as a presidential appointee on the White House Cancer Panel under President Obama. His advocacy for marginalized communities is reflected in his seven NAACP Image Awards® and his four New York Times bestselling books aimed at empowering young people. Hill’s dedication to education and empowerment has earned him ten honorary doctoral degrees. Additionally, here are three of his top priorities to reflect the values and needs of everyday Michiganders: 1️⃣ Building a Strong Economy: Hill is committed to fostering an economy that supports small businesses and entrepreneurs. He advocates for a living wage for all workers, affordable housing, and significant investments in manufacturing to ensure economic security for all Michiganders. 2️⃣ Affordable and Universal Healthcare: A staunch supporter of healthcare as a fundamental right, Hill aims to expand access to both physical and mental healthcare, ensuring that no one is denied care due to financial constraints. 3️⃣ Lowering Auto Insurance Rates and Fighting Price Gouging: Hill is committed to making auto insurance affordable and combating price-gouging practices that burden Michigan residents.
Hill Harper has urged his Michigan Senate race rival, Elissa Slotkin, to reconsider her reluctance toward public debates. Engaging in debates would provide both candidates with a vital opportunity to articulate their policy positions directly to voters, emphasizing transparency and the chance to address key issues facing Michigan head-on. Additionally, Nasser Beydoun, whose U.S. Senate run was cut short due to ballot issues, threw his support behind fellow Democrat Hill Harper on Monday, urging Michigan voters to send a message to the corrupt establishment amid the Gaza conflict. Beydoun, a Dearborn businessman and Arab American civil rights leader, lauded Harper as “a beacon of integrity, vision, and commitment to public service,” and emphasized his ability to bridge divides and foster unity. “Michigan has a historic opportunity to show the corrupt political establishment that Michiganders will not stand with Wall Street but with Main Street — that we want our tax dollars spent on strong public education, affordable universal health care, and a world-class infrastructure, not funding wars overseas,” Beydoun said during an endorsement event with Harper outside the Henry Ford Centennial Library in Dearborn. “Michigan has an opportunity to show that we will not stand idly by as our president and Congress effectively, actively support and fund a genocide.” Beydoun’s bid to qualify for the Aug. 6 primary faltered after he submitted petitions with his P.O. box instead of his residential address. His subsequent legal challenge was rejected by the Michigan Court of Appeals. Harper, an actor, author, and political newcomer aiming to become Michigan’s first black senator, echoed Beydoun’s sentiments, emphasizing their shared values of “shared equity, inclusive economic development, and prosperity for all residents.”

I beat thyroid cancer thanks to the help of skilled medical professionals. This life-changing experience, especially since my father died from cancer, fuels my passion for universal healthcare.

Vote August 6th in the Michigan Democratic primary! 💙 #HealthcareForAll #VoteAugust6 #MichiganSenate
I am heartbroken over the death of 25-year-old Samuel Sterling. His life was tragically cut short, and his last words were a heartbreaking plea to the officer, asking why he hit him. He was killed in Kentwood, MI near Grand Rapids. We must demand justice and accountability for Samuel and all victims of unlawful violence, including holding accountable those who are meant to protect us. #JusticeForSamuelSterling #Justice4Riley #Justice4Patrick

What a week on the campaign trail! After a fantastic picnic in Grand Rapids, MI with my Divine 9 family, we hit a bump—literally. Our tire went flat in Lowell, MI, and we had to brave a thunderstorm to get Fix-A-Flat from Meijer, which didn’t work. AAA came to the rescue, and Pierce even lost his tooth! 🦷💪 All this to remind everyone to vote on August 6th! #CampaignTrail #MichiganStrong #Divine9 #UnexpectedAdventures #VoteAugust6th

Had a fantastic time in Chelsea, MI, and couldn’t resist stopping by Thompson’s Pizzeria, Est. 1970. The pizza was amazing—I’m giving it a solid 9/10!
There has been a higher percentage of Black presidents in the U.S. than Black senators. This highlights a significant gap in representation at the legislative level. It’s crucial to advocate for and support more diverse candidates in all branches of government to ensure our voices are truly represented.
