MI-SEN: Conservative group spending $500K on first ad boosting Rogers for U.S. Senate

The conservative group AFP Action says it's putting $500,000 behind its first ad in Michigan this year, boosting the campaign of Republican Mike Rogers, who is running for the state's open U.S. Senate seat.

The spot will run as 30- and 15-second commercials on connected TV and digital platforms, according to AFP Action. The ad promotes Rogers in a positive light as a "statesman, not a politician" who rises above partisan divisions and will work to lower inflation and taxes ― likely in an effort to help Rogers' name identification and standing among more centrist voters across the state.

"A strong, serious leader, Mike Rogers will go to Washington to get things done," the narrator says.

The ad buy is among the first major investments in the Michigan U.S. Senate race by an outside group. AFP Action is affiliated with Americans for Prosperity, which is part of billionaire Charles Koch's political network that has spent millions bankrolling mostly Republican candidates and causes over the years.
