Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports tax-cut and tax-advantaged measures for individuals and businesses, favors reducing federal spending and regulatory barriers, and has proposed expanding tax-advantaged 529-style accounts for first-time homebuyers. Has opposed Medicare drug price negotiation and backed Republican tax measures that critics say favor high-income earners. Advocates targeting federal spending and regulatory reductions to lower consumer costs and boost homeownership and business activity.
Healthcare
The candidate opposes the Affordable Care Act and has supported repealing or rolling back ACA provisions; he has backed proposals to introduce private-sector approaches to Medicare and supported policies that would cut or restructure Medicaid. His public materials emphasize market-based solutions, prescription drug cost reduction via private mechanisms, and support for reducing federal involvement in healthcare.

Immigration & Border
The candidate supports enforcement-first border policies, including rebuilding physical barriers, reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy, restricting asylum by requiring applicants to start claims in their home country, and strengthening ICE/enforcement actions. He frames immigration as a national security and public-safety threat and endorses strong measures against cartels and criminal undocumented immigrants.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Historically he co-sponsored legislation to define life at conception and backed federal abortion restrictions, including a 20-week national ban and measures with few exceptions. During his recent campaign he has said he would not vote to overturn Michigan’s 2022 reproductive-rights amendment and has stated he would vote against a federal abortion ban, while also saying he is a pro‑life politician and would not walk away from that record.
Climate & Energy
Mike Rogers supports U.S. energy independence and an "all-of-the-above" energy approach that emphasizes American-made energy, reduced regulations on fossil-fuel development, and market-driven solutions. He has criticized federal EV mandates and opposed policies he says would force rapid electrification or harm Michigan manufacturing. His public statements prioritize energy reliability, affordability, and national-security concerns about dependence on foreign supply chains for batteries and critical minerals.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate opposes many gun-safety restrictions and emphasizes mental-health and school-security solutions over new weapon bans; he highlights support for hunters/sportsmen and has received endorsements and favorable ratings from pro-gun groups.
