For the election, Kid Rock will be challenging incumbent Democratic senator Debbie Stabenow. Stabenow addressed his campaign by saying, “I know we both share a love of music. I concede he’s better at playing guitar, and I’ll keep doing what I do best: fighting for Michigan.”
Kid Rock replied to her comments on his website, saying
Senator Stabenow and I do share a love of music, although probably not the same kind. I concede she is better at playing politics than I am so I’ll keep doing what I do best, which is being a voice for tax paying, hardworking AMERICANS and letting politicians like her know that We the People are sick and tired of their bullshit!
