Friends —
As Michiganders know, for decades the DeVos family’s #1 issue has been weakening Michigan's, and the country's, public education system. Betsy DeVos used Michigan as her petri dish before becoming Trump’s Secretary of Education, and his longest serving cabinet secretary.
The DeVos family has supported opponents of mine in the past, and it looks like they’re ready to double down on this Senate race.
Republican Mike Rogers' latest FEC report was filled with donations from a bunch of members of the DeVos family — contributions totaling $46,200 all made on one single day, just before the September 30th deadline.
Mike Rogers has already started to see a flood of support from deep-pocketed Republican donors like Betsy DeVos, corporate PACs, and Super PACs who will all spend millions of dollars on his behalf in order to flip Michigan red. In 2020, the DeVos family contributed over $1.6 million to candidates and PACs which have spent over $10 million to super PACs to influence races like ours.
So these contributions are just the beginning of the support Mike Rogers will receive from this powerful family.
But this campaign has something Mike Rogers' campaign lacks: lots and lots of regular people giving what they can, when they can.
Just one peek behind-the-curtain of Mike Rogers' FEC report shows he raised less than 5% of his money from individuals making small-dollar donations.
By contrast, the majority of the donations we receive come from people contributing significantly smaller donations than the DeVos family made to Mike Rogers: Our average email donation was $26 last quarter.
And what you may not know is that the single greatest source of individual donations to our campaign is the response to emails like this.
That’s why I would love to earn your support today. Your help using this link to make a $3 contribution to my campaign for United States Senate would be a great rebuke to the DeVos support.
