MI-SEN: Mike Rogers (R) campaign gets $45M boost in outside spending

A lot of money got dropped into the race for Michigan’s U.S. Senate SEAT on Monday. The POSITION is up for grabs with the retirement of incumbent Democratic Senator Gary Peters.

The Republican-affiliated Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) pledged $45 million to support former Congressman Mike Rogers, the frontrunner in Michigan’s Republican Senate primary. The money will support advertising for Rogers starting in early September, after the primary election is over.

In a press release, SLF said this is the most money it has ever committed to a Michigan race.

“Senate Leadership Fund’s historic investment is a testament to the strength of Mike Rogers and our commitment to flipping Michigan red in November. Mike is a trusted leader who will fight for Michigan’s working families and auto industry, and we are confident he will be the next United States Senator from Michigan,” a statement from Senate Leadership Fund Executive Director Alex Latcham said.
