Hill Harper, running for an open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, returned to Los Angeles earlier this month, where the actor headlined a fundraiser co-hosted by John Legend, as well as other figures including Vivica A. Fox and Mike Tollin.
The event was a needed boost to the actor and activist’s campaign: In the Democratic primary race, Harper is facing Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), who has a wide lead in polls and in her campaign war chest. She had more than $6 million cash on hand as of the end of last year, dwarfing that of her rivals. Harper had almost $150,000.
Harper, best known for his roles in The Good Doctor and CSI:NY, is largely running to the left of Slotkin, a former CIA analyst, and obviously hoping for a breakthrough. He also has relayed what Barack Obama, a classmate at Harvard Law School, told him that as hard as acting and other professions are, “Politics is tough.”
In a recent interview with Deadline, Harper said of the former president’s comment, “It’s extremely difficult because of the way that the system has been built, and what I mean by that is, the sad irony of me running is that I believe that to save our democracy, we have to pull money out of politics and we need full campaign finance reform. But to get elected, to get money out of politics, I have to spend so much time raising money to even have a shot.”
Slotkin announced her bid shortly after Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) announced her retirement. Harper entered the race last summer, in an announcement video in which he positioned himself as an outsider. In the video, set up as if he was delivering a message to his son, Harper said that “at the core of too much of this are politicians in office that don’t really care about people.”

Jaden Thompson Indigenous stories aren’t always told with the care, nuance and authenticity they deserve in Hollywood, and, more often than not, their stories aren’t told at all.

The tribal governing body recently passed bills expressing support for their roles in Martin Scorsese’s historical epic.
