Mike Rogers Hopes the Second Time is a Charm. He's Running Again for Senate.

Former Michigan Congressman Mike Rogers, who lost his bid last year to become a U.S. Senator, has decided he'll run again in 2026.

In an early morning post Monday on X, the Republican wrote:

"President Trump needs strong allies in the Senate to help him deliver on the mandate given by the American people. That means bringing manufacturing jobs back to Michigan, protecting seniors’ Social Security, lowering the costs of gas, groceries, and prescription drugs, and setting our kids up for success by improving the quality of their education. Michigan, let’s get to work."

"Together, we are going to grow the Senate majority and make sure that President Trump has the backup he needs!"

Rogers, 61, who served in Congress from 2001 to 2015—and before that, in the state House and as an FBI agent—lost to Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin in the Michigan U.S. Senate race by a vote of 48.64 percent to 48.30 percent.

The Brighton native, who now lives in White Lake Township, had previously been a critic of Trump, but came around enough last year to earn his endorsement. He'll likely receive the endorsement again.

Rogers was an FBI agent in Chicago from 1989 to 1994, specializing in organized crime and public corruption.

Interestingly, in last year’s election, he played down his time at the FBI—perhaps because Trump and his supporters in the Republican Party had demonized the agency, claiming it was too political, biased, and corrupt.
