U.S. Rep. Slotkin leads the Democratic field of U.S. Senate candidates with an overwhelming 65 percent of likely Dem voters while former Detroit Police Chief James Craig is up 33 to 20 percent over former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers in a more competitive Republican contest.
Former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers formally announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate Wednesday morning, giving Republicans arguably their first big-named candidate in a race that has slowly ballooned with potential candidates.
U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Holly) is no longer a registered voter in the 7th Congressional District, which she was elected nine months ago to represent, having moved out of her Lansing rental earlier this year and changing her voter registration to Holly in U.S. Rep. Lisa McClain's district.
During an Off the Record appearance last March, former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers sent signals that he was focused on running for the Republican presidential nomination.
