U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Elissa Slotkin has long used her experience of growing up on a family farm to relate to working Michiganders; however, one report states that she greatly exaggerated the size of her family farm.noted that Slotkin has also benefitted from a grandfathered agricultural tax exemption, which saves her roughly $2,700 in property taxes.That’s despite the fact that the family stopped raising cattle on the property — the reason for the original exemption — decades ago.
That property is itself classified as vacant agricultural land. Aerial shots, available through land records, show no evidence of farming. Austin Cook, a Slotkin campaign spokesman, said in a statement, “Rep. Slotkin’s farm has been in her family for three generations, since 1956. During her early life, the farm was a working cattle farm. The land is now used to grow soybeans, which are currently planted.”
She said in an attack ad against Rogers, which Politifact rated “false,” that he “left Michigan to trade on his D.C. connections, helping Chinese tech companies get access to the U.S.”
