Mike Rogers, the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, announced on Sept. 6 that he will run as a Republican for Michigan’s soon-to-be vacant Senate seat, which has been held by Democrats for more than 20 years.

Mr. Rogers will be looking to fill the seat of retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), who chose to run for Senate in 2000, vacating a House of Representatives seat that Mr. Rogers won before spending seven terms in the position.
