Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Mike Rogers has created a volunteer coalition for women as part of his campaign.
The former U.S. Congressman and FBI agent announced the creation of the “Women for Mike Rogers” coalition on March 5.
Rogers said that he and his wife, Kristi Rogers, created the new coalition as part of a grass-roots strategy in a campaign press release.
“This is a grassroots-driven campaign,” Rogers said. “Each day, we’re on the ground talking to voters across the state and earning their support with our Michigan First message, including safety, housing affordability, protecting women’s sports and spaces, and keeping more money in Michiganders’ pockets,” he said.
“Kristi and I are excited to announce this new coalition of talented, determined women, who will help us build on this historic ground game, expand our reach across Michigan, and activate an army of volunteers to get Michigan working again.”
The coalition will be led by 20 volunteer leaders, including Republican elected officials and former candidates.
Former state Rep. Julie Alexander, R-Hanover; Tudor Dixon, host of the Tudor Dixon Podcast and 2022 Republican candidate for governor of Michigan; Linda Lee Tarver, an election integrity expert, author, and 2022 Republican candidate for the Michigan Board of Education; and state Sen. Lana Theis, R-Livingston County, are volunteer leaders.
“President Trump is working to Make America Great Again, and he needs strong allies in the Senate to get the job done,” Dixon said in a statement. “From securing our border to rebuilding American manufacturing to protecting our daughters’ rights, we need Mike Rogers to fight alongside President Trump and deliver America First policies.”
Volunteers for the coalition will be “made up of hard-working women of all backgrounds and corners of the state,” according to the press release.
“Democrats have failed our state in almost every possible way,” Theis said. “It’s time for change. Mike Rogers will get Michigan working again, from bringing back jobs to making housing more affordable. This is the best chance we’ve had in a generation to win Michigan’s Senate seat back, and Team Rogers is going to get it done.”
Rogers’ campaign also has volunteer coalitions for faith leaders, farmers, law enforcement, sportsmen, and veterans.
The Republican candidate announced the faith leaders coalition in November 2025, according to previous reporting by The Midwesterner.
Rogers reported the largest campaign war chest out of all the candidates in the 2026 U.S. Senate race in February, and that his campaign raised $2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 through donations from 26,063 donors, with 98.27% of the donations being under $100.
