Here’s this week’s Left of Lansing “Monday Musing” for August 26, 2024.
“Florida” Mike Rogers is hoping to become Michigan’s next U.S. Senator after leaving our state for years to rake-in loads of cash in defense contractor lobbying.
Meanwhile, Democratic candidate, Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin who worked in military intelligence and then joined Congress to help improve the lives of Michiganders and the rest of the country.
Slotkin said at last week’s Democratic Party Convention that America leads, and she’s proving it by fighting for people.
However, like his Dear Leader Trump, “Florida” Mike has made a career of using government to help himself while making it harder for government to help the rest of us.
Let’s help Elissa Slotkin defeat “Florida” Mike Rogers this November by donating to her campaign!
Not only that, but “Florida” Mike’s got some unseemly Michiganders helping his campaign, including the vile and ignorant Meshawn Maddock.
Let’s help Sarah-May Seward defeat Maddock’s husband, Matt Maddock, in the 51st State House District this November by donating to her campaign!

Republican Senate candidate @MikeRogersForMI has a bigot on his "Women for Mike" advisory board, and he’s perfectly fine with it. Meshawn Maddock’s disgusting "fags and hags" slur goes unchecked, proving Rogers is all in on the hate. This is who wants to represent Michigan? Hard… pic.twitter.com/ImOcbXe6LP

Michigan Democratic State Rep. Jason Morgan’s tweet to Meshawn Maddock’s sick tweet last week:
Former @MIGOP Chair and advisor to Trump’s 2024 campaign, just called me a f*g.

As a proud gay man who loves his husband, these hateful taunts don’t undermine my Pride, but to countless LGBTQ young people across the USA, hateful rhetoric can lead to depression and suicide. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/rmRy1kxjMq
