Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers has collected $125,600 from a state pension since 2022 — even though his financial disclosures show he's worth many millions of dollars.
In 2026, Rogers proposed ending the ACA's free preventive care — telling supporters "if you go up and have to pay the doctor $50 for your annual physical, that's probably okay, right?" — and bringing back high-risk insurance pools for the sickest patients, an idea a University of Michigan health-policy expert called "just so crazy."
Mike Rogers has spent his career fighting against health care access for Michiganders. We deserve better.
Championing Big Pharma and Helping Fuel the Opioid Crisis
While Michigan communities were devastated by the opioid crisis, Mike Rogers was calling himself "a champion" for the pharmaceutical industry — and was bankrolled by it.
Rogers voted against allowing drug reimportation that would have lowered prescription costs for Michiganders, and voted to block Medicare from negotiating lower drug prices — positions that aligned perfectly with his Big Pharma donors.
Mike Rogers was bankrolled by Big Pharma and voted their way while Michigan communities paid the price. We deserve better.
Backing Tariffs That Raised Costs for Michigan Families and Farmers
Trump's tariffs hammered Michigan auto workers, farmers, and families. Mike Rogers praised them — and mocked Michiganders who were worried about higher prices.
Rogers praised Trump's tariffs, falsely claimed they were bringing manufacturing jobs back, dismissed Michiganders' concerns about the economic impact, and doubled down even after the Supreme Court ruled against Trump. The tariffs harmed Michigan retailers, squeezed auto manufacturers, and cost Michigan farmers $167 million in exports.
When Trump threatened to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Detroit and Windsor as "leverage" in his trade war with Canada, Rogers backed the threat — saying "I give him all the leash he needs" and "I think this is probably the right thing to do."
Mike Rogers backed tariffs that raised prices for Michigan families and farmers — and mocked them for worrying about it. We deserve better.
Backing Trump's War with Iran That Raised Gas Prices for Michiganders
Trump's war with Iran sent Michigan gas prices to a three-year high and squeezed Michigan farmers. Mike Rogers wholly supported it — and dismissed Michiganders who were worried about the cost.
Mike Rogers backed Trump's war with Iran even as it raised gas and fertilizer prices for Michiganders — and told them "you'll get your oil." We deserve better.
At a February 2026 GOP meeting, Rogers celebrated Trump cutting "10% less federal employees, 10% in one year," telling the crowd: "People said it couldn't be done... he did it! Right? If we're going to protect that, he needs help in the United States Senate."
Mike Rogers loved the cuts that took health care, veterans' services, and Social Security staffing away from Michiganders. We deserve better.
A Florida Carpetbagger Who Claims Michigan Is His Home
Mike Rogers abandoned Michigan after leaving Congress, moved to a million-dollar Florida mansion, and registered to vote in Florida — then decided to run for Michigan's Senate seat.
Even during his 2026 campaign, Rogers spent more than a week campaigning from his Florida mansion, giving media interviews recorded from inside his Cape Coral home — while telling a Michigan audience that "my whole life is here in Michigan."
Mike Rogers abandoned Michigan for a Florida mansion and now wants a Senate seat. We deserve better.
Lost the 2024 Election, Then Falsely Claimed It Was Stolen
Mike Rogers lost the 2024 Michigan Senate race. Rather than accepting the result, he fabricated a story about a mysterious van delivering ballots in Detroit — without a shred of evidence.
Rogers knows better. One day before the January 6th attack, he wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that the 2020 election was "free and fair" and that implying otherwise "is self-serving and stokes further discord in our country." Now his 2026 campaign's county chairs include Meshawn Maddock and Kenneth Thompson — both pardoned by Trump for their alleged roles in the fake-electors scheme to overturn Michigan's 2020 vote.
In April 2026, Rogers told a Kalamazoo County GOP meeting he was recruiting retired and off-duty police officers to serve as poll watchers in Detroit: "Because, go ahead: Try to intimidate them. Please... all you got to do is open your jacket and you see the badge on the belt, right?" Federal law makes it a crime to intimidate voters.
Mike Rogers lost a fair election and responded by spreading lies about it. We deserve better.
