Rep. Haley Stevens appeared with Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers at a Detroit church service Sunday. Hours earlier, Democrats had pulled her from a unity event with nominee Abdul El-Sayed.
Stevens pressed El-Sayed to condemn an outside group's ad tying Israel aid to grocery prices.
El-Sayed said his campaign did not make the ad and he disagreed with it.
Rep. Debbie Dingell said she asked Stevens to skip the event.
Stevens' fiancé, Jason Turkish, said last week he would vote for Rogers.
Why it matters: El-Sayed and Rogers are in a tight race for retiring Sen. Gary Peters' seat. Democrats need Michigan to win a Senate majority.
Stevens won Wayne and Oakland counties in the August primary.
Black and Jewish voters backed her there; Democrats are courting both groups.
