Mich. Rep. Mike Rogers Won't Run for Senate Seat

Carl Levin is retiring

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) will not run for Senate, he announced Friday.

Rogers, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, was thought by many to be the GOP's best candidate to succeed retiring Sen. Carl Levin (D). 

Rogers opted to stay in the House, where his stature has grown as chairman of the Intelligence panel.
