NEW AD: “9 Times” Features Rich, A Nine-Time Mike Rogers Voter Making The Case For Dr. Abdul El-Sayed

Rich, a longtime Republican and nine-time Mike Rogers voter, is supporting Dr. Abdul El-Sayed because he is the only candidate that will put Michigan first 

MICHIGAN – Today, the Abdul for Senate campaign released “9 Times,” a new statewide television ad featuring Rich—a longtime Republican who’s voted for Mike Rogers nine times. Rich is supporting Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in this race because as a former Mike Rogers voter, he can see just how big money has changed his former congressman: 

Rich: Years in Washington changed Mike. Took more than a million dollars from big pharma. Voted 19 times against lower drug prices. The corruption, the Big Pharma checks, the whole Florida thing.Abdul will keep our tax dollars invested in Michigan. He’s never taken a single dollar from a corporation. I trust him to put Michigan first.”

Rich, a former Republican candidate for office in Michigan, has had enough of corrupt, career politicians like Mike Rogers. 

  • As a self-described “champion” of Big Pharma, Rogers’ campaigns and political committees have been “bankrolled” by Big Pharma to the tune of more than $1 million while he does their bidding at the expense of Michiganders.
  • Mike Rogers has voted 19 times to keep prescription drug prices high, including  repeatedly voting against allowing Medicare to negotiate lower costs for prescription drugs, which he derided as “sugar high politics.” 
  • Mike Rogers “helped fuel the opioid crisis,” spending “most of his 12 years in Congress tied at the policy hip with opioid-producer front-groups” while “stak[ing] his name to an industry wish-list to expand and loosen access to opioids.”
