Hill Harper, Actor on 'CSI: NY' and 'The Good Doctor,' Launches Senate Campaign in Michigan

Actor Hill Harper, known for his roles in "CSI: NY" and "The Good Doctor," has announced his bid for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat, challenging U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin for the Democratic nomination. Harper, a small-business owner and cancer survivor, believes his status as a non-career politician will resonate with Michiganders. However, he faces tough competition from Slotkin, who has raised significant funds and garnered endorsements. Michigan is a crucial state for Democrats in maintaining Senate control, and several other candidates have also entered the race. Republicans have yet to find a high-profile contender for the seat.
