The late MI US Senator Carl Levin's successor Gary Peters' election victories in 2014 and 2020.
Gary Peters first ran for the US Senate in 2014 to succeed Carl Levin.
2014 was a Republican wave midterm election year, However Peters won that race against Terry Lynn Land by a 13 percent margin. In the Governors Race, Republican incumbent Rick Snyder won by a 4 percent margin. Republicans won the MI Secretary of States Election in 2014(Ruth Johnson-R by a 11 percent margin.) Republicans won the MI Attorney General Election in 2014(Bill Schuette-R by a 8 percent margin). While Peters(D-MI) won, other Democratic US Senate nominees up for re-election in 2014 from battleground states lost.

In 2020, Peters won re-election by a 2 percent margin. 2020 was a Presidential Election year and Biden carried MI in 2020 by a 3 percent margin.
Peters’ Republican challenger in was John James. James previously ran for the US Senate in 2018 against Debbie Stabenow-D and lost the race by a 6.5 percent margin. Stabenow won
the 2006 US Senate Election by a 16 percent margin and 2012 US Senate Elections by a 21 percent margin.
Was John James the most formidable Republican challenger Stabenow and Peters face?
Could another Democrat perform better than Stabenow and Peters?
