## Key points

- El-Sayed renews his criticism of Rogers’s corporate ties.
- He says rural and northern voters feel neglected.
- His cost estimates are campaign claims.

## Summary

New campaign claims from Abdul El-Sayed focus on Mike Rogers’s record on healthcare and energy, sharpening El-Sayed’s argument that his Republican opponent serves corporate interests over Michiganders. The Democratic Senate candidate says Rogers took donations from pharmaceutical and oil companies while in Congress, then backed policies that raised costs for families.

El-Sayed says his campaign has held more than 700 events in over 120 Michigan cities, including towns that backed Donald Trump by 30 points, where he says voters feel overlooked. He also cites estimates that tariffs cost the average Michigan household $5,600 and that the Iran war has added about $20 to each tank of petrol; these are claims made in his opinion article. The supplied article text ends mid-sentence, so it does not include the full account of Rogers’s record.
