What would you buy with $5 million, John?
I’m asking because, at the beginning of August, we learned that a Texas oil billionaire poured $5 million into a super PAC to prop up Mike Rogers’ Senate campaign.
And not just any Texas oil billionaire — Tim Dunn, a long-time mega-donor to far-right political causes and an ardent Christian nationalist whose ultimate goal is to “replace public education with private Christian schooling,” in reporting by CNN.
That’s right, a man who 1) doesn’t live here, 2) doesn’t represent our values, and 3) made his fortune drilling fossil fuels is trying to buy influence in our state.
And his two $2.5M donations account for 98% of the super PAC’s total fundraising in the first half of 2025. It makes you wonder: Does Mike Rogers care about Michiganders? Or this guy?
Rogers’s campaign isn’t raising money from real Michiganders — not like we are. Not by a long shot.
In fact, he’s accepting handouts from a wide network of right-wing megadonors who want to roll back environmental protections, put corporate profits over families, and inject religious extremism into our laws.
These special interests are scared that someone who won’t put their interests above all else could win Michigan’s Senate seat.
They’re terrified of being held accountable for polluting our water and our air. They’re hoping that no one steps up in support of workers’ rights or an economy that works for all of us.
I guess that makes my Senate campaign their biggest nightmare, John. Help us give 'em hell and send a message: Michiganders decide our elections, and our state will never be for sale. Split a donation between my campaign and Blue Amp Action today.
I’m not running to serve Christian nationalist Texas oil tycoons. I’m in this to serve Michiganders. End of story.
We’ve received donations from all 83 counties. I’ve been on the campaign trail, meeting people Mike Rogers would screw over at the drop of a hat.
I know what a winning campaign looks like — the energy is here, and we have the momentum to win. That’s why I’m not backing down, no matter how much oil-stained cash they throw at this race.
Thanks for sticking with me.
