Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itA specific claim that his opponent received more pharma money than any member of Congress (or alternatively, any Michigan delegation member) is verifiable through campaign finance records and highly check-worthy given the internal contradiction between 'any member of congress' and 'any member of the Michigan delegation.'
What we foundNo source ranks Mike Rogers as the top pharma-money recipient among all members of Congress; available data identifies other members as higher recipients in comparable periods.
