I am pleased to see Mike stepping up to run for the U.S. Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogers, 60, is the fourth Republican to enter the contest, following others\u200d like \u200dNikki Snyder,\u2062 a member of the\u2062 state Board of Education.<\/p>\n<p>Several Republicans,\u200b like former Representative Peter Meijer, are still weighing whether or not to run, so the number of candidates \u200don the Republican side is likely to expand in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Stabenow&#8217;s unexpected retirement announcement in January opened up a broad field to fill the seat she had held since 2001. A Republican has not been \u2063elected to the\u200d Senate\u2063 seat for Michigan since 1994.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.
