Newsweek reports:
A Republican hoping to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate suffered a setback to his campaign this week after facing allegations that he lives in Florida. Former Congressman Mike Rogers, who has made much of his local roots in a bid to win over voters, faced backlash online after the staff of Democrat rival Elissa Slotkin released information on X apparently proving he is still registered to vote in the Sunshine State.
Rogers, a U.S. Army veteran and a former FBI agent, represented Michigan in the House from 2001 to 2015 and served as the chair of the House Intelligence Committee from 2011 to 2015. Previously, he served as a Michigan state representative and state senator. The 60-year-old was born in Livingstone County, Michigan, and has made much of his love for his home state.

Mike Rogers:
“Still registered to vote in the Sunshine State”
Owns a “large, $1.7 million home in Cape Coral, Florida”
Called out for being a “carpetbagger”
No wonder voters are “disgruntled.” #MISen https://t.co/Bv9mBxf3eL

Mike Rogers wants to move from the Florida swamp to the DC swamp with a little splash of pretending he’s a real Michigander in between. #MISen https://t.co/YEt5ZYhWFP pic.twitter.com/cj5YbrzFNV
