Mike Rogers Secures Crucial Michigan Farm Bureau Endorsement in Tight Senate Race

The Michigan Farm Bureau's endorsement marks a significant shift as Rogers battles Rep. Elissa Slotkin for the Senate seat.

  • Former Rep. Mike Rogers has received the endorsement of AgriPac, the political action committee of the Michigan Farm Bureau, in his Senate race against Rep. Elissa Slotkin.
  • This endorsement is notable as AgriPac has not supported a Republican Senate candidate in nearly 20 years, previously backing Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
  • Rogers has promised to advocate for Michigan farmers by addressing rising input costs and reducing government regulations, emphasizing the importance of the Farm Bill.
  • Rep. Slotkin's claims about her farming activities have come under scrutiny, with property records contradicting her statements about the size and use of her land.
  • Recent polls show Slotkin leading Rogers, with her advantage increasing from a 4-point lead in late July to a 9-point lead in early September.
