Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) is sticking by her cross-party endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s Senate race despite Democrat Abdul el Sayed’s victory in the contest.

“I recognize that my decision has consequences. All important decisions do,” Stevens said in a statement on Wednesday. “I don’t regret it, but I am truly sorry that it upset some of my colleagues and people I care about personally.”
