In April 2021, Sturgis decided to run for Speaker of the U.S. House replacing the then President-elect Monique Henderson. He ran against independent freshman Representative Sebastian Morales-Talero.

Trump was known for chaos in the gubernatorial office after playing “musical chairs” in the Governor's office with Mason Windsor. Trump was also known as a far-right politician with sexist views and anti-abortion and democratic policies. Sturgis lost to Trump in a close race — and in a red wave year.

Sturgis also decided to run in the Season 8 Midterms against the incumbent Democratic Governor Henry Cunningham. This was a clean race as Sturgis and Cunningham were both close friends, but had some disagreements policywise. Sturgis and Gina Jets (his running) lost the party nomination in a close race. Sturgis decided to wait until Season 9 to retire when his Senate seat was up.

The Senators of Cambridge he worked with were Senators Sanders and Spicer. Sturgis was known as one of the most popular senators, with only a 6% no-voting rate.
