Several media outlets report that former Michigan Republican Congressman Mike Rogers is close to making a decision about whether to run for Debbie Stabenow’s seat in the U.S. Senate.
Rogers, an ex-FBI agent, built a reputation as a leading voice on national security when he chaired the House Intelligence Committee.
He left Congress in 2015. The long-time Republican rejected Donald Trump’s claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged…and has said the former president’s time “has passed.”
If he takes the plunge, Rogers would join a field of candidates that includes, among others, current Democratic Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin – who also has strong national security credentials.
Former Republican Congressman Peter Meijer and ex-Detroit Police Chief James Craig are reportedly considering joining the race as well.
