DetroitWell over half of Haley Stevens’s congressional staff quit Sunday.
Her chief of staff of 8 years, Justin German, quit and urged votes for Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.
Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers Sunday, and no one has released a count of the resignations.
“We can’t stand with hate,” Stevens told reporters, with Rogers standing beside her.
Stevens won Wayne and Oakland counties in the primary, and Michigan votes Tuesday.
