NEW: Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich. (and her mother) went on a $27,000 trip to Portugal in 2024, all paid for by the centrist, pro-corporate group Center Forward. Now, the group's super PAC is pouring more than $2 million in TV and online ads for her Senate campaign in a heated three-way race in Michigan. Center Forward made waves in 2023/2024 after taking $7 million in donations into its nonprofit arm from Big Pharma, then using its super PAC to fund congressional candidates who fought against Biden-era efforts to lower drug prices. This campaign cycle alone, Center Forward's super PAC has received $400,000 from big oil companies like Chevron, and $30,000 more from UnitedHealth Group.

Center Forward sent Stevens — and her mom — to a banking and crypto conference. Now it's spending millions on ads in Michigan. interc.pt/42L7FrU
