MI-SEN: In Michigan Senate race, Dems battle for bucks as Mike Rogers builds war chest

Rogers, a White Lake Republican, raised nearly $2 million for the quarter and ended it with the most cash on hand of any candidate in what is expected to be a fiercely contested race the Cook Political Report rates as one of four “toss-ups” nationwide.

In the Democratic primary, Stevens, at $2.1 million, was the top fundraiser. But state Sen. Mallory McMorrow and former Wayne County Health Director Abdul El-Sayed weren’t far behind, raising $1.74 and $1.77 million, respectively.

Recent polling suggests the race for the Democratic nomination remains wide open with about six months to go until the August primary. An Emerson College survey released this week found the three candidates in a statistical tie, with a plurality of likely Democratic primary voters, 37%, still undecided.

It’s difficult to know the full breadth of a candidate’s fundraising, as the Federal Election Commission doesn’t require campaigns to itemize donations from individuals who have given less than $200 in an election cycle.
