Rep. Elissa Slotkin’s (D-MI) home was targeted in a swatting incident Thursday in Michigan.

Michigan State Police confirmed they responded to a “false threat” at Slotkin’s home in Holly, Michigan. Swatting refers to someone making false emergency calls to prompt a heavy law enforcement response.

A spokeswoman for Slotkin told the Detroit News that the congresswoman was not home at the time of the incident.

“This is the latest in a disturbing trend of swatting incidents targeting members of Congress,” Slotkin spokeswoman Lynsey Mukomel told the outlet.

“Congresswoman Slotkin is deeply grateful for the swift and professional response by law enforcement to this unfortunate incident, and that U.S. Capitol Police will be following up to investigate and hopefully hold accountable those responsible,” she continued.

Swatting cases have been on the rise targeting elected officials. Several politicians were targeted with swatting on Christmas Day last year. In March, a person of interest was found to have made more than 100 swatting calls that targeted officials in President Joe Biden’s administration, including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure and Security Agency Director Jen Easterly and others, according to CBS Detroit.

Slotkin is set to face former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in the state’s Senate race. The two are looking to claim Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s (D-MI) seat as she is retiring.

Rogers condemned the swatting incident, saying the event was “horrific and I am glad to hear that she was not harmed” and that it was his “sincere hope that the perpetrators are found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
