LANSING, Mich. — Mike Rogers, the Republican running for U.S. Senate, brought much of the GOP statewide ticket to Lansing, Mich., on Saturday to send college volunteers out on a final round of door knocking in Ingham County.
Rogers told the crowd his campaign had passed 7 million doors and was aiming for 7.5 million by Election Day. He is facing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed for the open Senate seat, and the stop came three days after the two met in Detroit for their final debate. Rogers used the event to attack El-Sayed’s views in sharp terms.
John James, the Republican nominee for governor, and Doug Lloyd, the party’s candidate for attorney general, also appeared. Lloyd focused on public safety and said he wants the office to stress accountability. State Rep. Tom Barrett of Charlotte, who is in a tight race for the 7th Congressional District, warned the crowd that the outcome is far from settled.
The rally lined up with the first weekend of early in-person voting. Michigan voters can cast ballots at their local early voting site through Sunday, Nov. 1, and a mail ballot can also be returned there before Election Day. The state reported that more than 780,000 voters had already voted early or returned a mail ballot two weeks out.
