Former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers is launching another bid for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
In his announcement Monday, the former House Intelligence chair’s campaign described him as a “conservative fighter” who would be “an ally for President Trump and champion for Michigan.”
Rogers had widely been expected to compete for the seat — his second run for U.S. Senate after losing in 2024 to Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat.
The race to succeed retiring Michigan Sen. Gary Peters (D) is expected to be one of the most contested in 2026. Republicans view the state President Donald Trump narrowly carried last year as a top pickup opportunity.
