Michael J. Rogers (born June 2, 1963) is an American politician who served as the U.S. representative for Michigan's 8th congressional district from 2001 to 2015. A Republican, he is a former law enforcement officer and chaired the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence from 2011 to 2015.

After retiring from the U.S. House, Rogers was hired by CNN as a national security commentator.[1] He was also executive producer for the CNN program Declassified: Untold Stories of American Spies.[1]

Rogers is the Republican nominee in the 2024 United States Senate election in Michigan to succeed Debbie Stabenow.[2]

Early life and career

[edit]

Rogers was born in Livonia, Michigan,[3] the son of Joyce A. and John C. Rogers.[4] He graduated from Adrian College in Adrian, Michigan, in 1985, from which he earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and sociology. Rogers served in the United States Army from 1985 to 1989.

Rogers is on Telefonica's Technical and Security Advisory Committee and a board member of IP3 International.[5][6]

Law enforcement career

[edit]

He worked as a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in its Chicago office, specializing in organized crime and public corruption from 1989 to 1994. He is a member of the Society of Former Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In 2017, Rogers was interviewed to be the new director of the FBI after James Comey was dismissed.[7]

Michigan State Senate

[edit]

He was first elected in 1994. In 1998, he won a second term with 68% of the vote.[8]

He represented three counties: Clinton, Livingston, and Shiawassee. He served as majority leader from 1999 to 2000.

Rogers wrote legislation creating the Michigan Education Savings Program.[9]

U.S. House of Representatives

[edit]

Elections

[edit]

Rogers was elected as a Republican from the 8th district of Michigan to the United States House of Representatives in one of the nation's closest congressional races of 2000. He defeated Democratic State Senator Dianne Byrum by 111 votes to win the district 8 seat left open by Debbie Stabenow.[10] However, the district was redrawn to be much friendlier to Republicans in the 2002 round of redistricting. It lost its share of heavily Democratic Genesee County while being pushed further east into the solidly Republican northern portion of Oakland County and also gaining Republican-leaning Clinton County, north of Lansing.

Tenure

[edit]

Mike Rogers and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter talked during the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress Eisenhower award dinner.

Rogers's measure to make education savings plans free of federal taxes was adopted in 2003 (see Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001). His health savings account program for low-income families who are covered by Medicaid was signed into law on February 8, 2008.[11]

Rogers was the primary sponsor of the Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act, H.R. bill 5037, which was signed into law by President George W. Bush on May 29, 2006.[12]

The CBO has said that Rogers's H.R. 1206 to make it easier for states to obtain waivers from some Medical Loss Ratio requirements would add $1.1 billion to the deficit between 2013 and 2022.[13]

On November 30, 2011, Rogers introduced the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA).[14]

Rogers introduced and supported the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015 (H.R. 4681; 113th Congress), a bill that would authorize a variety of intelligence agencies and their appropriations for fiscal years 2014 and 2015.[15][16]

In March 2014, Rogers announced he would not seek an 8th term in Congress.[17] He later launched "Something to Think About", a daily radio segment.[18] Former Michigan State Senator Mike Bishop won the Republican primary and defeated Democratic challenger Eric Schertzing.[19]
