Rogers was a member of Congress how many years? What was his record of accomplishments FOR THE PEOPLE during that time? He's now grasping for something to hang onto to convince Michiganders he's their guy. Like all Congress members, their reputations precede them.

Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

An anti-ICE TikToker was arrested after posting about immigrant rights, adding to growing concerns about how immigration enforcement is interacting with political speech and protest. Recent cases involving journalists and protesters have also raised questions about arrests, force and First Amendment

Agriculture isn’t a campaign prop to me. It’s my life. I grew up baling hay, mending fences, and working livestock on my family’s ranch. Texas law requires real agricultural experience for a reason. Texans deserve answers about whether Data Nate meets those requirements.
Press release graphic from Clayton Tucker for Texas Agriculture Commissioner over a photo of a rural barn. The graphic quotes Tucker saying Texans deserve an Agriculture Commissioner who meets Texas law’s requirements, describing his experience working on his family’s ranch, and arguing that Nate Sheets likely does not meet the legal qualifications for the office based on his agricultural experience. It concludes: “Texas law is clear: the Commissioner who oversees Texas Agriculture should be of, by, and for those who are actually in the industry.”
