Kid Rock Denies Violating Election Law While Exploring Run For Senate
DETROIT (WWJ) - In a defiant response to claims of violating election law --Robert Ritchie, aka Kid Rock -- gave a short response on his website, including: "Go f--- yourselves."
Claiming that Kid Rock is an official candidate based on his selling of "Kid Rock for Senate" gear, violating candidate registration and issues surrounding contributions, the DC watchdog group, Common Cause, filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Election Commission.

Ritchie toyed with fans about a possible run for the Senate on social media in July.
The complaint, filed by Common Cause, notes that while he has not formally declared his candidacy, Kid Rock already has a campaign website, http://kidrockforsenate.com, and is using a link to a Warner Bros. Records website to sell campaign T-shirts, yard signs, hats and bumper stickers, bearing the "KID ROCK FOR US SENATE" logo.
