"We'd be actually very interested in his candidacy," Steven Law said in an appearance on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” Friday, according to the Washington Examiner.

"The superficial sense of Kid Rock is that he's an entertainer, that he's kind of this wild redneck," Law said. "But the truth of the matter is that he's done a lot in his home state philanthropically, he's a pretty smart guy, he thinks about policy and he's a shrewd businessman."

“So if you're watching, Kid, we hope you run."

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, has been hinting at running for the Senate as a Republican against incumbent Sen.

“I have had a ton of emails and texts asking me if this website is real…http://kidrockforsenate.com The answer is an absolute YES,” Ritchie tweeted last month.

“Stay tuned, I will have a major announcement in the near future - Kid Rock,” he said in a second tweet.

The week of hints led to Ritchie announcing the formation of a voter registration nonprofit while he continues to explore a potential Senate run.

"During this time while exploring my candidacy for U.S. Senate, I am creating a 501(c)(4) - a non-profit organization for the promotion of voter registration. Not only can I raise money for this critical cause, but I can help get people registered to vote at my shows," Ritchie said.

Ritchie tweeted a conservative poll at the end of July that showed him leading Stabenow in a hypothetical matchup by a margin of 54 percent to 46 percent, but a poll released at the beginning of August showed Stabenow leading the rock star 50 percent to 42 percent.
