Former NFL coach Tony Dungy has shut down rumors of a potential run for a Michigan Senate seat. Despite recent reports suggesting he was a candidate to replace U.S. Sen. Gary Peters when his term ends in 2027, Dungy took to social media to clarify that he has no interest in entering politics. The 69-year-old, who resides in Florida, stated that he is not a politician and has no plans to run for office in Michigan.
Dungy, known for his historic Super Bowl win as the first African American head coach to achieve this, currently works as a football analyst on NBC’s “Football Night in America.” He remains influential in the world of sports and has been vocal about his conservative beliefs, particularly when campaigning against Proposal 3 in 2022.
Other potential candidates for the Michigan Senate seat include U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, U.S. Rep. John James, and former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, who confirmed he would be running for the position. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is also reportedly considering a run for the seat. With a range of political figures and public figures eyeing the opportunity, the race for the Michigan Senate seat promises to be competitive and closely watched in the coming years.
