Republican Senate hopefuls are facing questions over their residencies, including accusations from Democrats of being wealthy carpetbaggers with few ties to the battleground states where they are running.
Any one Senate race in more than a half-dozen states could flip the balance of the chamber from blue to red.
The latest episode centers on Michigan Republican Senate nominee and former Rep. Mike Rogers, who moved to Florida after his stint in Congress ended in 2015. He does not reside in the White Lake Township, Michigan, home where he is registered to vote, the Detroit Free Press reported.
“His home is fully built, simply awaiting final utility installation,” a Rogers campaign spokesperson told the outlet. “Once that is finally complete, he and his wife will move in immediately and look forward to spending their lives in this community near their family.”
The Michigan Democratic Party touted the revelation as a “bombshell.”
