El-Sayed hits Rogers on healthcare during Republican convention

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has launched a new ad targeting Republican opponent Mike Rogers' healthcare record ahead of the Republican convention, as reported by Semafor. The ad, part of a $2.3 million campaign running this week, highlights Rogers' tenure in the House and the impact it has had on opioid and prescription drug costs.

One voiceover in the ad declares, "Thirty years of Mike Rogers is killing us," urging voters to "Send Doc Abdul to Washington." Rogers is scheduled to address the GOP's top recruits at a convention in Dallas, where he will be one of the key figures in a closely contested Senate race for Democrats, with recent polls indicating a tight contest in Michigan.

Rogers previously discussed his strategy of running on a "change" platform despite the GOP's control of Washington to Semafor in a recent interview.
