Mike Rogers Opens the Door for AIPAC Support
The super PAC sent mailers to 130,000 Jewish voters after filing nearly $100,000 in new spending against Abdul El-Sayed.
- On Friday, the United Democracy Project , a super PAC affiliated with AIPAC, entered the Michigan Senate general election, reporting nearly $100,000 in direct-mail advertisements opposing Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed.
- Despite previously asking the group to stay out of the race in August, Republican Michigan Senate nominee Mike Rogers said at a debate Thursday he would welcome help to "stop a guy who can't condemn terrorism."
- Targeting 130,000 Jewish voters in Michigan, the UDP mailers focus on El-Sayed's response to a terrorist attack at Temple Israel where he said, "Hurt people hurt people." The group previously spent $33 million opposing the candidate during the Democratic primary.
- El-Sayed responded on social media, writing that "you know Mike Rogers is in trouble when he begs AIPAC to start spending against me," claiming the move distracts from his economic policy.
- As campaigns navigate shifting voter sympathies regarding Israel, this intervention marks a strategic pivot in the general election, illustrating UDP's established pattern of funding opponents to defeat candidates who challenge the group's policy or status.
