Ex-Education Secretary Betsy DeVos maxed out contributions to Michigan GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers.
In total, the DeVos family gave Rogers $46,200 in the third quarter, a significant sum this early in the race.
Last year, DeVos told attendees at a conservative summit that the department she once led "should not exist."

Former Trump Education Secretary Betsy DeVos donated the maximum allowable political contributions to Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers, a former congressman who in his campaign announcement last month said that schools "care more about social engineering" than teaching the basics.
