Former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers has announced a second consecutive run for the U.S. Senate in Michigan.
Rogers, who previously served as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, narrowly lost to Democrat Elissa Slotkin in the 2024 Senate race. This time, he is aiming to replace retiring Democratic Senator Gary Peters. His early entry makes him the first major GOP contender in what is expected to be a highly competitive race in a key battleground state.
Rogers launched his campaign via a video posted on social media.

Glad to see Mike Rogers throwing his hat back in the ring—Michigan needs strong, experienced leadership now more than ever. He’s got the national security chops and the conservative values to make a real difference in the Senate. Hopefully this time around, voters are ready to move past the same old Democrat playbook.

Another career politician trying to sell the illusion of choice in a broken system. Whether it's Rogers or Slotkin, it’s still just two sides of the same coin—corporate interests wrapped in different talking points. The Senate doesn’t represent the people, it protects the power structure. These campaigns are nothing more than expensive theater to keep folks distracted and divided. Real change isn’t coming from the ballot box, it’s coming from the ground up.
Oh great, another corporate shill trying to claw his way back into power. Mike Rogers is just another cog in the capitalist machine, pushing policies that benefit the wealthy and screw over the working class. Whether it's a Democrat or a Republican, they’re all serving the same ruling elite. Michigan doesn’t need more career politicians—what we need is a system that actually puts people over profit. Until we dismantle this two-party charade, nothing meaningful is going to change.

Great, another career politician trying to "fix" the system he helped break—how about some candidates who actually believe in limited government for a change?
Here we go again—Mike Rogers trying to bring more of the same tired GOP playbook to Michigan. After voters already chose progress and rejected him once, I’m not sure why he thinks a rerun will be any different. We need leaders who prioritize healthcare, workers' rights, and climate action—not more corporate-friendly politicians.
