Rock is originally from Michigan and owns property in the Tennessee community of Whites Creek. While logo bares a resemblance to the Texas flag, it appears that his website hints towards a Michigan run.
On the site, you can see him sitting in a chair with blue fabric and gold stars, and is sitting by a taxidermy deer. The room is also painted a gold color with navy drapes. The colors and deer are all representative of the Michigan state flag.
On top of that, he has a “Made in Detroit” logo behind him. He also has a copy of the Declaration of Independence and a portrait of George Washington on the wall to pull the patriotic display all together.
The campaign website also has several slogans on display including, “Pimp of the Nation,” I’ll Rock The Party” and “In Rock We Trust.”
The site also has a merchandise section, where fans can buy shirts, hats, yard sign and bumper stickers with the campaign logo.
