I am proud to endorse Mike Rogers in his campaign for the United States Senate to represent the great state of Michigan.
Throughout his distinguished career in public service, Mike Rogers has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to liberty, security, and strong alliances. As a former U.S. Army Officer, FBI Special Agent, and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, he brings decades of battle-tested national security expertise to the table at a time when our nation and the world need steady, experienced leadership.
During his time in Congress, Mike built deep, lasting ties with our Albanian-American community, making many personal friends along the way. He is a strong advocate for robust American leadership in the Balkans and across the globe, and he is deeply committed to further strengthening the historic friendship between the United States and the Albanian people. His long-standing dedication to foreign policy stability and strong security partnerships makes him an invaluable champion for our shared values in the Senate.
In addition to his national security credentials, Mike Rogers has a proven track record of delivering real results for working families from his service in both the Michigan State Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. From creating tax-free education savings programs for families to supporting Michigan’s manufacturing sector, fighting to lower inflation, reducing energy costs, and strengthening local economies, Mike’s focus remains firmly on restoring economic opportunity and protecting the American Dream.
Our Albanian-American community has strong ties to both political parties—much like Michigan itself, a vibrant battleground state with a rich history of supporting both Republicans and Democrats. After 32 years of having two Democrats in the U.S. Senate, it is time for Michigan to elect a Republican voice to Washington. The outgoing U.S. Senator from Michigan, Gary Peters, a Democrat, has been a great friend to our community. Let us now replace him with another great friend of ours: Republican Mike Rogers.
I urge all Albanian-Americans living in Michigan to cast their vote for Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate!
