The Michigan Farm Bureau’s AgriPac has endorsed Rep. Elissa Slotkin's opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers .

The group has not endorsed a Republican candidate for the Senate seat since 2006 , backing outgoing Sen. Debbie Stabenow , D-Mich. , in her re-election campaigns in 2012 and 2018 .

Rogers says the endorsement sends a "very clear message" to Michigan 's business community.

The former representative said farmers "don't care about the ads" Rogers said the farming community is instead more concerned with the candidates who met with them and their county boards to discuss agricultural solutions.

He also said the AgriPac endorsement wasn't just a crucial win among farmers but also independent voters.
