Michiganders have taken a big step toward choosing their new senator after Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and former Congressman Mike Rogers won their respective primaries for the U.S. Senate on August 6.

Slotkin handily defeated her only opponent, actor Hill Harper. In the Republican primary, Rogers emerged victorious after beating both Justin Amash, another former congressman, and physician Sherry O’Donnell.
