Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), told supporters Friday that he would not run for retiring Sen. Carl Levin’s (D-MI) opening senate seat. The Hill reported that Rogers will stay in the House, where he presides as chairman of the intelligence committee.
“After careful and thorough deliberation and long talks with my family, friends and supporters, I have determined that the best way for me to continue to have a direct impact for my constituents and the nation is to remain in the House of Representatives,” Rogers said.
“Once the Senate primary has concluded,” he added, “I look forward to doing everything I can to elect a Republican U.S. senator from Michigan who will work to keep Michigan moving forward and help us get a handle on out-of-control Washington spending and debt.”
