DETROIT, MI — Following last night’s final U.S. Senate debate, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) pointed to the clear differences between Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed on cost-of-living, taxes, and the size of government as Michigan voters consider who should represent them in Washington for the next six years.
El-Sayed entered the debate carrying the most radical economic agenda Michigan has seen on a Senate ballot: a government takeover of health care, higher taxes, and government ownership stakes in private companies — a prescription for exactly the kind of big-government control that has Michigan’s economy ranked 43rd in the nation. Rogers entered with a plan built on lower taxes, more American energy, and fewer regulations to bring down costs and get Michigan’s economy growing.
AFP Action Senior Advisor for Michigan Tim Golding released the following statement:
“Last night, Michigan voters saw the choice clearly. Abdul El-Sayed’s answer is more government, more taxes, and more control, the same formula that landed Michigan near the bottom of the national rankings.
“Mike Rogers has a plan to get the state climbing: keep taxes low so businesses can invest and hire in Michigan, unleash American energy to bring down costs for families and manufacturers, cut the red tape that makes it harder to build homes, and invest in the skilled trades. Those aren’t new campaign promises; they’re the priorities he carried through the Army, the FBI, and Congress. As AFP Action approaches knocking 900,000 doors across Michigan, we urge every Michigander to request your ballot, vote early, or make a plan to vote for Mike Rogers on Election Day.”
