GOP campaign operative encourages Kid Rock to run for Senate
WASHINGTON — The head of a major Super PAC aligned with Senate GOP leadership encouraged performer Kid Rock to run for Senate against Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow of Michigan.
The comments from Steven Law in an interview Friday on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” program were surprising. But Law insisted he was quite serious, saying his group would “be actually very interested” in a Kid Rock candidacy.
Kid Rock has made some moves to look at the race, including setting up a campaign website and creating what he said is a non-profit group to promote voter registration. He posted a statement on his website on July 26 saying he would announce a decision about the race in six weeks or so.
Law pointed to a recent poll in which the entertainer trails Stabenow by eight points, saying it’s “not a bad place to start out.”
