Cailin Legacki, of Legacki Consulting and formerly one of Stevens’ key spokespeople during her 2026 primary run, had her contract terminated recently after the Stevens campaign learned of her work with Palantir, a spokesperson for Stevens told Michigan Advance on Thursday.

The news of Legacki’s departure was first reported by Ryan Grim of Dropsite News. Grim said he uncovered her dual role as a consultant with Palantir and asked the campaign for a comment. Legacki’s contract with the campaign was terminated after Grim reached out for comment.

Grim also noted that Legacki was a senior fellow for Third Way, a center-left think tank. Grim reports that Third Way has “played heavily” in the August primary race between Stevens and El-Sayed, who are both vying for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination to face Republican former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers in the fall.

Asked whether she planned to continue to consult for Palantir, Legacki said she does not discuss internal information regarding her work with clients.
