Republican former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers of White Lake and Democratic U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Holly are locked in a tight race for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat.

Elissa Slotkin, with a background in national security, worked for the CIA and the Pentagon before joining Congress. Her experience makes her a strong candidate, capable of attracting votes not only among Democrats,
