Mike Rogers (Maryland politician)

Last updated

On November 20, 2023, Rogers announced that he would run for Congress in Maryland's 3rd congressional district, seeking to succeed retiring U.S. Representative John Sarbanes. [13] On the campaign trail, Rogers heavily leaned into his military experience, believing that appealing to the districts' high number of veterans would provide him with a path to victory. [2] Rogers was defeated in the Democratic primary election by state senator Sarah Elfreth on May 14, 2024, placing seventh with 2.6 percent of the vote. [14]

Political positions

Policing

In June 2020, Rogers participated in a protest against police brutality in Severn, Maryland, where he encouraged protesters to vote in that year's general elections. [15]

Social issues

In March 2019, Rogers voted against legislation that would allow doctors to prescribe palliative care to terminally ill patients who want to end their lives. [16]

Veterans

Rogers introduced legislation in the 2020 legislative session that clarified the eligibility for veterans seeking to reside at homes supervised by the Department of Veterans Affairs. [17] The bill passed and became law on May 8, 2020. [18]
