Kid Rock has enjoyed great success as a musician for years, selling millions of records and sold out concert stops along the way. Now we hear he’s seriously considering running for political office in his home state of Michigan, contemplating throwing his hat into the ring for Senate.
You will have to remember his birth name if he does get on the ballot, it’s Robert Ritchie. The run is for the U.S. Senate in the 2018 midterms, and he actually has an official site to check out, KidRockForSenate.com. On the site you’ll be able to sign up for email newsletters and buy the Kid Rock T-Shirt. We’re not sure, but we think he’s campaign slogan is “Rock the Senate.”
Kid Rock was born in 1971 in Romeo, MI, a blue collar working class suburb of Detroit, the son of a successful car dealer in the Detroit area. As if his music didn’t make him famous enough, Kid was once married to actress Pamela Anderson, a marriage that lasted less than two years.
