DETROIT — Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who is running for a vacant U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, is claiming an agricultural tax credit for her home even though the property has no agricultural license and no agricultural activity takes place there, The Post has exclusively reported.

Located in rural Oakland County, the Holly home was gifted to Slotkin and her brother by their father, Curtis, in May 2023. According to land records, it was transferred free of charge via a waiver.

The house is classified as “agriculturally improved,” a designation given to any “improvement, building, structure or facility suitable for agricultural use and located on agricultural land.”

Due to this classification, the house is 100% exempt from property tax.

However, according to a public records request, there are no valid agricultural licenses for the property. Aerial photos of the property show a single-family home, woods and fields – but no agriculture.

The agreement saves Slotkin about $2,700 a year.

The property was exempt from agricultural taxes before it came into Slotkin’s ownership. According to the Michigan State Tax Commission, a property can be classified as agricultural in two ways: If it already is, as in Slotkin’s case, or if 50% or more of a property is used for agricultural purposes.

A homeowner may withdraw the agricultural designation by submitting a written request for withdrawal to the Commission.

During the election campaign in recent years, Slotkin had claimed to grow soybeans on the property.

In April, Slotkin and three House colleagues formed the Congressional Specialty Crops Caucus. Michigan Farm News reported on the announcement, writing that Slotkin “lives on her family’s cattle ranch in Holly.”

The Slotkin family’s ownership of the land dates back to 1956, when there were 400 to 500 head of cattle there. But Slotkin moved into the house as a child in 1980, and previous reports said the cows “disappeared in the 1980s.”

“Fake politician Elissa Slotkin is lying to Michigan voters and pretending to be a farmer,” said Maggie Abboud, spokeswoman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. “Slotkin also lied about her ‘living situation’ in a lobbyist’s home, so this is no surprise.”

The Slotkin campaign did not respond to a request for comment prior to publication. After this story was published, a campaign spokesperson told The Post, “Rep. Slotkin’s farm has been in her family for three generations since 1956. It has been used for agriculture since then, and Oakland County has confirmed on multiple occasions that the property qualifies for the agricultural exemption.”

Slotkin’s residence and whereabouts have previously been the subject of controversy.

During her 2022 run for Congress, Slotkin, who was married at the time, moved into lobbyist Jerry Hollister’s Lansing apartment.

Michigan had just gone through redistricting, and Slotkin moved to her new district during Holly’s campaign. After winning the seat, she soon left Lansing and returned to Oakland County.

Although the lobbyist said he lived elsewhere at the time, records showed that he and Slotkin were both registered to vote from their Lansing addresses.

It turns out that Slotkin was living apart from her husband, David Moore, at the time of her run for the House. Divorce documents from February 2023 show that Slotkin and Moore had already been living apart for six months by that point, dating their separation to at least August 2022.

When Slotkin’s 2022 opponent, Republican Tom Barrett, claimed during a televised debate in Detroit that she and the lobbyist were living together, Slotkin defended herself by citing her marriage.

“My husband and I would like to talk to you about this,” she said.

Slotkin met Moore in Iraq in the late 2000s when both were serving in government positions. She worked in intelligence and he was a colonel in the U.S. Army. His then-wife was also a high-ranking Army officer.

Moore had been married since 1985. He filed for divorce from his wife on June 1, 2010, on their 25th wedding anniversary. Moore was living with Slotkin in Washington, DC at the time.

Slotkin and Moore married in September 2010, just three months after he filed for divorce. Slotkin attributed the timing to her mother’s ailing condition, which she has been talking about in commercials for years. Judith Slotkin died of ovarian cancer in March 2011 at the age of 64.

On February 1, 2023, Slotkin filed for divorce from Moore. He did not contest it.

On February 27, she announced her candidacy for the Senate to fill the seat vacated by Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow after her retirement. Two days later, on March 1, her divorce from Moore became final.
