Candidates are hustling across Michigan to get votes in the final week before the November midterm election.
Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers are making their final pitches to voters as Michigan’s U.S. Senate race moves into its final week.
Speaking Monday in Midland, Rogers talked about what he believes is at stake.
“It is no longer is Blue vs. Red. This really is about the heart and soul of the United States of America and who we want to be,” Rogers said.
Meanwhile, El-Sayed is in Alpena on Monday, campaigning alongside U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders.
