Has not served in Congress
2 priorities from rogersforsenate.com, in the order they are listed there. Every heading and the text under it is copied exactly, as one passage for each page it is from, and links to that place on the page; hover a source to see which passage it opens.
1. OPEN THE BOOKS The Problem: Hospitals and insurance companies hide prices from patients because they don’t want you to comparison shop – which would drive prices down.
- The Solution: If hospitals and insurance companies don’t publicly post real prices so patients know what they’re paying before they receive care - the executives should be held accountable. Fines should be imposed.
You deserve to know the price before you get the bill.
2. SAVE ON ’SCRIPTS
- The Problem: Prescription drug prices are out of control. Drugs should not be more expensive in Michigan than they are in Canada.
- The Solution: Expand access to Trump Rx, which takes advantage of the government’s ability to buy in bulk, force prices down, and pass those savings onto the consumer. We also need to speed up approval on lower cost generic options.
3. PAY PREMIUMS. GET COVERAGE.
- The Problem: Working families pay their premiums every month, only to face delays, denials, and endless paperwork when they need care.
- The Solution: Force insurance companies to publicly report denial rates, approval times, and appeal outcomes. Companies with excessive denials or delays should face penalties. If you repeatedly deny care that should have been approved, there should be consequences.

President
“President Trump needs backup in the U.S. Senate, and there’s no one better suited than Mike Rogers to be that fighter,” said Reps. Bergman and Walberg. “Mike Rogers is a former Army officer and law enforcement officer who was raised with the Michigan values that make our state great. He’ll take those values to the U.S. Senate — where we will finally have someone who puts Michigan, and America, First! Mike has proven himself by outperforming nearly every other battleground contender last cycle and has continued to build momentum in recent months, helping place Michigan as the top pick-up opportunity for Republicans in 2026. Mike Rogers is the man for the moment, will flip this seat red for the first time in three decades, and has our complete and total endorsement!”
“Mike Rogers is EXACTLY the fearless America First fighter we need in the US Senate. I've known Mike for years, and let me tell you—he has the backbone to stand up to the radical Left and the Army-tough grit to WIN for Michigan families,” said Congresswoman McClain. “For 32 years, we've had Senators from Michigan who bow to the Democrat machine, but Mike Rogers is a patriot who won't back down! He’ll bring Michigan values straight to Washington, stand shoulder-to-shoulder with President Trump, and put Michigan First every single day. I'm proud to officially endorse Mike Rogers for US Senate —”
— Brian Pannebecker, Auto Workers for Trump Founder
“On behalf of Auto Workers for Trump, I am offering my full endorsement of Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate in the 2026 Michigan election. As we all know, Michigan was won by President Trump in 2024, and he has launched an aggressive campaign to bring back the automotive manufacturing industry to Michigan, and Mike Rogers is a solid supporter of that effort and the jobs it will bring back to Michigan. Michigan's 2 liberal Senators talked a good game, but when it came time to vote, they voted with the Biden - Harris administration to phase out internal combustion engines as part of the ‘Green New Deal’ legislation that would've devastated our domestic auto industry.”
Police Officers Association of Michigan
“No candidate is a better friend to law enforcement or more committed to keeping Michigan families safe than Mike Rogers,” said POAM President James Tignanelli. “He has dedicated his life to service and understands the sacrifice. Mike will also be a fierce ally in our mission to make Michigan’s streets safer every day. The Police Officers Association of Michigan is all in for Mike Rogers.”
“The Detroit Regional Chamber is right: the house is on fire. And we can’t sit back as it rages on,” said Rogers. “We need leaders who build our state back, not ones who continue to manage its decline–and I’ll work with anyone to get it done. We will get kids reading at grade level again. I have released plans to make housing and healthcare more affordable. And we’re going to re-attract good-paying jobs in the skilled trades. I’m grateful for the Detroit Regional Chamber’s support as we fight to Get Michigan Working Again.”
— Jim Holcomb, Michigan Chamber President & CEO
“Michigan is a state with a unique set of interests that demand a strong voice in Washington. Mike Rogers understands what’s at stake for Michigan employers and brings the experience to navigate complex issues, work across the aisle and deliver results. We’re proud to once again endorse Mike and believe he will be a strong, effective advocate for Michigan businesses, workers, and communities in the U.S. Senate.”
“Michigan farmers put in the work day in and day out making sure we have food to eat, fuel to get around, and clothes to wear. They are the epitome of hard work and determination,” said Rogers. “Now, I’m ready to work hard for them, supporting our farmers and tearing down the Biden-era red tape that made their lives more expensive and energy more costly. I’m grateful for the Michigan Farm Bureau’s support as we grow a better future for Michigan farmers.”
“[Mike Rogers is] the type of pro-crypto champion we need in Washington,” said Jason Thielman, First Principles Digital’s executive director. “We are all-in on Mike. He’s the best choice and we want to see him in the U.S. Senate.” “Digital assets aren’t just our future, they’re our present,” said Rogers.“Cryptocurrency modernizes our payment systems to expand financial freedom, inspire innovation, and serve as an engine for economic growth. Digital assets will also play an important role in strengthening our national security. I’m absolutely behind it. Thank you to First Principles Digital for the support. Let’s make America the crypto capital of the world.”

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 52 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 102,546 contributions · 60% of ranked | $2,138,683 |

| 2 contributions · 0.4% of ranked | $14,000 |
A further $323,890 came from donors whose answer names no employer (blank), so it is not ranked. Ranked from the largest 200 of 201 employer spellings filed; each share is of the money in those. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($3,722,505) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
The campaign also refunded $120,146 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.

All 1,470 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
65 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $221,026 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
