罗杰斯赴特拉弗斯城争取小企业主选票：在关税与伊朗议题上与特朗普保持距离
密歇根州特拉弗斯城（Traverse City），共和党联邦参议员候选人 Mike Rogers 10月23日走访密歇根州北部城市特拉弗斯城，在北密歇根商会联盟主办的一场面向小企业主和地方经济利益相关者的竞选活动上发表讲话，为11月3日选举日前的最后冲刺争取选票。这场开放席位参议员之争是本轮中期选举的焦点之一。此次走访距他与民主党对手 Abdul El-Sayed 的第二场辩论仅两天，El-Sayed 曾在9月参加过商会联盟的类似活动。
Rogers 在部分议题上与总统特朗普保持距离：他公开反对特朗普对加拿大加征关税，并呼吁结束伊朗战争。在回答记者提问时，他没有排除支持战争权力决议的可能性，并表示相信伊朗战争会在他明年1月宣誓就职前结束。最新民调显示两人势均力敌，Marist 民调中 El-Sayed 仅领先2个百分点，另有2%的选民尚未决定。
Rogers 还在活动上重申教育主张，指出密歇根州四年级阅读成绩全美排名第44位，承诺推动高中恢复木工等职业课程。他同时表示，特朗普将于周日赴 Port Huron 为共和党助选，但自己面对的是每一类选民。

Rogers Courts Small Business Leaders in Traverse City, Distancing Himself From Trump on Tariffs and Iran
TRAVERSE CITY, Michigan — Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers made his case to small business leaders in Traverse City on October 23, speaking at a campaign event hosted by the Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance as the high-profile race for Michigan's open Senate seat entered its final sprint to the November 3 election. The visit came two days after his second debate with Democratic opponent Abdul El-Sayed, who attended a similar Chamber Alliance event in September.
Rogers has broken with President Donald Trump on some issues: he has spoken out against Trump's tariffs on Canada and called for an end to the Iran war. Asked by reporters, he did not rule out supporting a war powers resolution and said he believes the Iran war will be wrapped up before he takes his oath of office in January. Polls show a dead heat; a Marist poll puts El-Sayed up by two points, with 2 percent of voters still undecided.
Rogers also reiterated his education focus, noting Michigan ranks 44th in the nation for fourth-grade reading scores and pledging to restore shop classes in high schools. He noted Trump will campaign in Port Huron on Sunday, but said he is talking to every segment of voters.
