Former Rep. Mike Rogers is launching one other bid for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
In his announcement Monday, the previous Home Intelligence Committee chair’s marketing campaign described him as a “conservative fighter” who could be “an ally for President Trump and champion for Michigan.”
Rogers had broadly been anticipated to compete for the seat — his second run for U.S. Senate after shedding in 2024 to Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat.
The race to succeed retiring Michigan Sen. Gary Peters is predicted to be one of the vital contested in 2026. Republicans view the state President Donald Trump narrowly carried final 12 months as a high pickup alternative. Along with Rogers, Republican Tudor Dixon is weighing a marketing campaign. On the Democratic facet, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow introduced her marketing campaign earlier this month, whereas Pete Buttigieg has taken himself out of rivalry.
Rogers left Congress in 2015 after serving 14 years within the Home, together with as chair of the Home Intelligence Committee. Over time Rogers, a former FBI agent and CNN commentator, had at occasions criticized Trump, however he endorsed Trump’s 2024 marketing campaign — and Trump reciprocated, endorsing Rogers’ bid for the Senate that 12 months.
Rogers’ marketing campaign stated in a press release asserting his run that he’ll deal with schooling, decreasing prices and countering cybersecurity threats from Russia, China and Iran, amongst different priorities.
