ROGERS WELCOMES SUPPORT FROM MICHIGAN JEWISH COMMUNITY LEADERS

DETROIT, MI – Army veteran, businessman, and candidate for U.S. Senate Mike Rogers today welcomed support from Jewish Democrat and Independent community leaders, who released a letter calling Mike a “friend” to the Jewish community and describing Abdul El-Sayed and his allies as a threat. Mike Rogers issued the following response:

“I’m grateful to have the support of Brian Hermelin and so many significant leaders in Michigan’s Jewish community! Thanks to all of you who have reached out to us. My wife, Kristi, and I could not be more grateful.

As antisemitism rises and Jewish families worry for their safety, it’s critical that we have leaders who will confront hatred — not inflame it. That’s where my opponent and I couldn’t be more different.

Abdul El-Sayed fans the flames of antisemitism. We’re fighting to extinguish it.

He sympathized with the terrorist who tried to mass murder 140 kids in Temple Israel. And refuses to disavow Hasan Piker, who called for violence towards American Jews.

I have a record of, and will continue to, fight for unconditional support for Israel’s right to defend herself. And work to make sure Jewish Americans do not fear the hate and antisemitism that Abdul and his allies are pushing. I pledge to work for the safety and security of all students, especially the Jewish students in our great Michigan universities.”
