Common card · No. 285186

The 2000 United States Senate election in Michigan was held on November 7, 2000. Republican incumbent Spencer Abraham ran for re-election to a second term but was narrowly defeated by his Democratic congresswoman Debbie Stabenow, who became the first woman to represent Michigan in the United States Senate. With a 1.6 percent popular vote margin, this was the second-closest race of the 2000 Senate elections, behind only the Washington election. Following his defeat, Abraham was appointed United States energy secretary by George W. Bush and served from 2001 to 2005.
