James Craig endorses Mike Rogers in Michigan GOP Senate primary

Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig announced on Monday he was endorsing former Rep. Mike Rogers, his former GOP primary rival, in the race to fill retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s (D-MI) seat next year.

Craig was one of Rogers’s leading competitors when he dropped out of the primary race last month, making the endorsement a big win for the former House lawmaker as he tries to clear the field well before the August primary. Craig praised Rogers for dedicating “his life to protecting the American people.”
