A GOP national super PAC — the Senate Leadership Fund — said Monday it will spend $45 million to help Mike Rogers win the open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, The Detroit News reports.
The fund is affiliated with Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
The News reports:
The early spending commitment ensures that the SLF can get better rates and more TV inventory than it did in the 2024 cycle, when the group didn’t jump in until Sept. 30, a little more a month before the election.
The ad reservations will begin in late August and cover Michigan’s entire early-voting period, starting a month earlier than in 2024 when Rogers, a former seven-term congressman from White Lake Township, narrowly lost the Senate race to Democratic then U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Holly by about 19,000 votes.
