Elissa Blair Slotkin (born July 10, 1976) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative from Michigan's 7th congressional district since 2019. The district, numbered as the 8th district from 2019 to 2023,[1] is based in Lansing, and stretches into Detroit's outer western suburbs.

Slotkin is a member of the Democratic Party. Before entering politics, she served as a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst and Department of Defense official. She is a candidate for the U.S. Senate in the 2024 election to succeed Debbie Stabenow.

Early life and education

Slotkin was born on July 10, 1976, in New York City, the daughter of Curt Slotkin and Judith (née Spitz) Slotkin.[2][3] She is Jewish.[3][4][5] Slotkin spent her early life on a farm in Holly, Michigan. She attended Cranbrook Kingswood School in Bloomfield Hills.[6] Her family farm was part of Hygrade Meat Company, founded by her grandfather, Hugo Slotkin. Hygrade is the original company behind Ball Park Franks, a brand now owned by Tyson Foods.[7]

Slotkin earned a bachelor of arts in sociology from Cornell University in 1998 and a master of international affairs from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs in 2003.[8]

Early career

Slotkin while serving in the Obama administration

Slotkin was recruited into the Central Intelligence Agency after graduate school. Fluent in Arabic and Swahili, she served three tours in Iraq as a CIA analyst. During the George W. Bush administration, she worked on the Iraq portfolio for the National Security Council. During Barack Obama's presidency, she worked for the State Department and the Department of Defense.[7] Slotkin was acting assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs from 2015 to 2017.[9]

After leaving the Defense Department in January 2017, Slotkin moved back to her family's farm in Holly, where she owned and operated Pinpoint Consulting.[6]

Elections

2018

See also: 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan § District 8

In July 2017, Slotkin announced her candidacy for Michigan's 8th congressional district.[10] She said she was motivated to challenge two-term Republican incumbent Mike Bishop when she saw him smile at a White House celebration after he and House Republicans voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act.[11] On August 7, Slotkin defeated Michigan State University criminal justice professor Christopher Smith in the Democratic primary with 70.7% of the vote.[12][13]

In November 2018, Slotkin defeated Bishop[1] with 50.6% of the vote.[14] She is the first Democrat to represent Michigan's 8th district since 2001,[14] when Debbie Stabenow gave up the seat to run for the U. S. Senate.

2020

See also: 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan § District 8

Slotkin was reelected in 2020 with 50.9% of the vote, defeating Republican Paul Junge.[15]

In 2019, Slotkin held multiple town halls about her decision to vote in favor of President Donald Trump's impeachment. The meetings drew hundreds of protestors and received nationwide media coverage.[16]

Slotkin adapted to campaigning during the COVID-19 pandemic with virtual and socially distanced campaign events, contactless door canvassing, and running advertisements on gas pumps.[17]

2022

See also: 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan § District 7

Due to redistricting, Slotkin ran for reelection in Michigan's 7th congressional district. During the campaign, it was reported that Slotkin was leasing a condominium in Lansing, Michigan, in order to establish residency in the new district (although candidates for Congress are not legally required to live in the district they seek to represent.) The property belonged to Jerry Hollister, a medical manufacturing firm executive and donor to Slotkin's campaign. Slotkin signed a seven-month lease ending a week after the November 8 election. According to the Detroit News, Slotkin advocated for a government program that Hollister's company benefited from.[18][19] In the general election, the most expensive U.S. House race of 2022,[20] she defeated Republican nominee Tom Barrett with 51.5% of the vote to Barrett's 46.5%.[21]

Slotkin criticized Barrett's stance on abortion, specifically his statement that he is "100% prolife, no exceptions".[22] She also criticized his multiple votes against incentives for a new GM electric vehicle battery plant in Delta Township.[23]

Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney endorsed Slotkin.[24]

Slotkin raised $9.8 million and attributed her victory to "losing better" in the district's Republican-leaning areas.[25] Her win, along with other congressional and state level victories in Michigan, defied other states' trends, mainly in New York and California, that resulted in Democrats losing control of the U.S. House of Representatives

Abortion

Slotkin supports legal access to abortion.[35]

Build Back Better Act

Slotkin voted for the Build Back Better Act. However, she also stated that “There are things I would have preferred to be taken out of the bill” and that she believed the Senate would “slim down” the measure when explaining why she voted for it.[36][37][38]

Campaign finance reform

In 2022, Slotkin signed onto the Ban Corporate PACs Act, which if enacted would prevent corporations from operating a political action committee.[39]

It was introduced after the shooting at Oxford High School.[50] It was passed by the House as part of the Protecting Our Kids Act of 2022.[51]

Health care

Slotkin supports the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). During her 2020 campaign, she described the protection of health care coverage for individuals with preexisting conditions as the most important issue for her district. She supports allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for those insured by Medicare.[52]

During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Slotkin supported the bipartisan CARES Act relief package, which passed Congress in March 2020. In May 2020, she voted for the HEROES Act, a $3 trillion stimulus package.[53]

Impeachment

In September 2019, Slotkin and six other freshman House Democrats authored an opinion piece in The Washington Post calling for an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

Minumum Wage

In the 117th congress, Slotkin was the only Democrat house representative of Michigan who did not cosponsor the Raise the Wage Act, which would gradually increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour [59]. However, she cosponsored and voted for it in the 116th Congress when it came to the House floor in 2019.[60] [61]

Slotkin was a co-sponsor of the Honoring our PACT Act of 2022, which provided funding for veterans exposed to toxic substances during military service.[68]
