DEBATE RECAP: Michigan Dem AG Nominee Eli Savit Wins Debate, Opponent Flounders Under Pressure
September 28, 2026
GOP AG nominee said it made him laugh when people spoke about sex-crime cases where he failed to jail criminals
WASHINGTON, DC – In the race for Michigan attorney general, Democratic nominee Eli Savit far outshined his GOP opponent Doug Lloyd during yesterday’s debate. Savit highlighted his success as a prosecutor and addressed the issues Michiganders care about the most, where Lloyd said it made him laugh when people spoke about the various sex crime cases where he failed to put criminals behind bars.
Statement from Lottie Ash, DAGA Political Director:
“Doug Lloyd proved just how unfit he is to be Michigan AG. He cannot be trusted to hold violent criminals accountable or to ensure victims receive the justice they deserve. Eli Savit is the only choice in this race. He has experience taking on the tough cases where Lloyd has failed. Savit established dedicated special victims and domestic violence units in the Washtenaw County prosecutor’s office and has a successful track record of prosecuting cold-case rape cases. As AG, Savit will always put Michigander’s safety first.”
