Mike Rodgers for U.S. Senate

Mike Rogers (R) is running for election to the U.S. Senate to represent Michigan. He is on the ballot in the general election on November 5, 2024 after advancing from the Republican primary on August 6, 2024. This seat has been held by Democrats for over two decades.

Rogers was born in 1963 in Livingston County, Michigan. An Army veteran and former FBI agent, Rogers was elected to Congress in 2000 and served seven terms in the House, the last two as chair of the committee that oversees U.S. intelligence agencies. He left office in 2015 and served briefly on Trump’s transition team as an adviser on national security issues.

Rogers began his political career in the Michigan State Senate, where he served from 1995 to 2000. Rogers returns to politics with a mission to defend Michiganders, Michigan businesses and build a stronger America. As a small business owner, Rogers knows how important these establishments are to a flourishing economy.

“I thought I put politics behind but, like you, I know something’s broken,” Rogers said in a campaign video. “No candidate is better prepared to have an impact on day one. I’m ready to serve again.”

When it comes to the merit shop, ABC of Michigan president Shane Hernandez mentioned Rogers will be the one to go to bat against policy that favors unions.

“He’s a small business owner. Mike Rogers understands the pain points so many ABC members deal with. From rising costs, down sales, to limited workers, sending him to DC is going to send a message on the national level that Michigan business owners are done being thrown to the sideline,” Hernandez said.
