The opposition file on Abdul El-Sayed is extensive, so Mike Rogers is sure to take his time picking this left-wing radical apart. For now, Rogers is focusing on economics and has produced this ad, which delivers a haymaker against AES for essentially touting policies that will kill the state. AES’ position on gas-powered vehicles will already add further economic pain in a state where Democrats have lost 200,000 jobs.
For over a century, the gas-powered engine has powered Michigan’s economy.
It built the middle class, paid for mortgages, and put kids through college.
Abdul El-Sayed wants to ban gas-powered vehicles.
He wants to bury the beating heart of the Motor City.
Not on Mike Rogers’ watch. Mike Rogers built cars in Michigan factories.
No EV mandates ever.
Let our engines roar.
I’m Mike Rogers, and I approve this message.
Rogers worked on the factory floor of two car makers; whereas AES is on the board of the Sunrise Movement, which aims to kill cars. The latest poll has Rogers up 51-47 over AES, who is facing an uphill battle with black, rural, and Jewish voters.
