Slotkin and Rogers Say They Were Victims of Swatting in Michigan Senate Race

Elissa Slotkin United States Representative and Mike Rogers Former United States Representative

Both candidates vying for the U.S. Senate seat in Michigan reported being victims of swatting this week. Chris Gustafson, a spokesperson for Mike Rogers’ campaign, confirmed that Rogers’ family experienced a swatting incident at their Livingston County residence.

“Today, Mike Rogers’ family was targeted by a false swatting attempt at their home,” Gustafson stated in a press release. “The Michigan State Police responded promptly, and fortunately, no one at the residence was harmed.” He expressed gratitude for the law enforcement’s quick and professional handling of the situation.

In a similar vein, news outlets revealed that Rep. Elissa Slotkin, Rogers’ Democratic opponent, also encountered a swatting attempt at her home within the same week. Slotkin described the incident as a hoax intended to disrupt law enforcement efforts and create unnecessary chaos.

“It was a fake call aimed at diverting a large number of officers from Oakland County to my home,” Slotkin explained in a video aired by WOOD-TV. “Although I wasn’t present, the intent was clearly to cause disruption.”

Both Rogers and Slotkin recently secured their party nominations to contest for Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s seat. This race is under serious scrutiny due to its importance in a crucial battleground state.

Slotkin expressed her concern over the incidents in a post on X, saying, “It is deeply disturbing to hear about Mike Rogers’ swatting incident. Such actions are unacceptable in public life. I am thankful for the swift response from the Michigan State Police and hope those responsible will be thoroughly investigated and held accountable.”
