Mike Rogers has made much of his local Michigan roots in a bid to win over voters.
A Republican hoping to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate suffered a setback to his campaign this week after facing allegations that he lives in Florida.
Former Congressman Mike Rogers, who has made much of his local roots in a bid to win over voters, faced backlash online after the staff of Democrat rival Elissa Slotkin released information on X, formerly Twitter, apparently proving he is still registered to vote in the Sunshine State.
The Republican Party hopes to retake the Senate on November 5 from the Democrats, who currently hold a slim majority. But polls released last month suggest that Democrats are leading the races in several states, including Michigan. One Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey of 1,000 voters found that 41 percent said they supported Slotkin while 39 percent said they would vote for Rogers.
Rogers primary campaign ad was weird. He said he's running for the US Senate but instead of talking about how he will work for Michigan, he complained about Joe Biden. So your intent is to obstruct rather than govern? How is that appealing to anyone?
A big Republican ideal is a small federal government. So if their candidates successfuly prevent the federal government from doing anything that's a good thing for them.
Small federal government when it's tax time, or other things they don't like. They don't mind a large federal government at all when it comes to enforcing the Bible or sending bombs to Israel.
If you’re from Michigan but living in Florida, you, sir, are a moron. I barely care about jurisdictional laws you’re breaking; your lack of judgement is already disqualifying. To be so close to Canada and choosing to spend time tucked beneath America’s ballsack is in very poor taste.
Looooots of Michiganders snowbird in Florida. To the point where a local credit union, Lake Michigan CU, has locations in two states: Michigan and southwest Florida.
It is high comedy that Elissa Slotkin is breaking this news.
She moved from her family home to a different congressional district around May of 2022, to run in that district’s race.
A month after she was elected, she moved back to her family home.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to be a muckraker, it’s just a funny coincidence.
A Republican hoping to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate suffered a setback to his campaign this week after facing allegations that he lives in Florida.
Would that all candidates for public office suffered such setbacks if they were accused of living in Florida.
