Oakland University Board of Trustee Colleen Ochoa Peters, the wife of Sen. Gary Peters, announced Monday that she's endorsing Democratic Congress member Haley Stevens for U.S. Senate.

“Haley has proven time and again that she’s a fighter for working Michiganders,” said Ochoa Peters in a statement. “Poll after poll has shown Haley is the strongest Democrat in this race and the best positioned to beat Mike Rogers."

"She’s spent her entire career protecting Michigan jobs and Michigan workers–from helping save 200,000 Michigan auto jobs on President Obama’s auto rescue to investing in Michigan manufacturing in Congress to ensure our workers have the training and resources they need to succeed. She’s our best shot to keep this Senate seat blue, and I am so honored to stand with Haley in her run for U.S. Senate."

Ochoa Peters' husband, who is leaving the Senate after he completes his term this year, has yet to endorse any of the three Democratic candidates in the race. 

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2023 appointed Ochoa Peters to the Oakland University Board of Trustees.

Ochoa Peters is the founder of Meaningful Impact Consulting,  where she directs strategic gift planning, foundation relations, and program management for national and local nonprofits.
