MI-SEN: Elissa Slotkin holds big fundraising edge over Mike Rogers in US Senate race
Republican former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers continues to badly lag Democratic U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin in fundraising in the race for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat but outside groups have helped him make up a bit of the difference in terms of how much is being spent on the race overall.
As of the most recent Federal Election Commission (FEC) reports, at least $142 million has been spent on the race, $80 million on Slotkin's side and about $62 million on Rogers'.
Campaign finance reports due this week indicated that, as of Sept. 30, Slotkin, of Holly, raised $16.7 million between the middle of July and the end of September, bringing her total to $40.1 million, $36 million of which she has spent to date on her race to succeed Democratic U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, who announced last year she would not run for a fifth 6-year term.
Rogers, who served in Congress from 2001-15 and won the Republican primary in August, raised only about $4.2 million through his main campaign committee during the most recent reporting period, bringing his total to $9.6 million. Of that, he has spent about $7 million. (A joint fundraising committee Rogers is part of has also raised a total of about $1.5 million as of Sept. 30, about $618,000 of which has been transferred to Rogers' committee; it was not immediately clear whether that was already included in his overall campaign committee receipts.)
