Slotkin wins over Mike Rogers in tight Michigan Senate race to hold seat for Democrats

[Washington Examiner] Michigan’s open Senate seat will stay in Democratic hands after Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) defeated Republican Mike Rogers in one of the most competitive races of the 2024 cycle.

Slotkin won by a thin margin, securing 48.6% of the vote compared to Rogers’s 48.3%, according to the Associated Press.

Her victory, called Wednesday afternoon, continues a streak of Democratic dominance in statewide races. No Republican has won a Michigan Senate seat since 1994.

In this case, a win for Slotkin is a win for republicans and the nation.

It also denies Republicans additional breathing room in a chamber they will control next year. Slotkin will replace retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), a titan of Michigan politics who rose to Senate Democrats’ No. 3 leadership post.

Michigan had one of the only competitive Senate races without an incumbent this cycle, making it a top target for Senate Republicans. In the final days of the campaign alone, the leading super PACs for each party spent almost $20 million on advertising in the state.

Yes, Aegis (6 shadow company) hired the Congressman's (former FBI agent and HPSCI Chair's) wife. Great boost for Aegis business development. Smoke in the TeePee over State Department contracts led to both of them resigning and 'spending more time with the family.' Articles on the mini-scandal have mostly disappeared from Google.

From Aegis to Aspen to P2P
Rogers’ early experience includes working with the departments of Transportation, Defense and U.S Customs and Border Protection.

Among her top career experiences is her work growing the D.C. office for London-based risk management and security company Aegis LLC, where she was president and CEO 2006 to 2011.

“I pitched the idea to establish a U.S. company to the British board of directors, which included Britain’s last five-star general,” Rogers said. “After serious deliberation and questioning, the board agreed. I responded, ‘Great! Now, we need to find someone to do it.’ The board laughed and responded, ‘Well, that would be you.’”

Within five years, the D.C.-based operation had expanded from two people to just under 1,000.
