Rogers Rakes in the Cash!

Alabama Congressman Mike Rogers (R-Saks) is riding high! Just before his committee gave the thumbs-up to the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, Rogers topped the fundraising charts for Alabama's House members.

War Chest Update

Rogers, representing Alabama's 3rd District since '03 and chairing the House Armed Services Committee since '23, boasts a hefty $2,393,061.39 in the bank. That's serious cash! Only Democrat Terri Sewell is close, with a cool $3.6 million.

Fundraising Frenzy

But it's the $413,843.19 Rogers hauled in this quarter that's really turning heads – one of his best ever! For comparison, Senator Katie Britt raised $779,512.55.

Power Player

Leading the House Armed Services Committee gives Rogers major sway over defense policy and spending. And being a true Alabamian helps him connect with folks back home.

Campaign Speaks

"Chairman Rogers' success comes from the generosity of his supporters," his campaign stated. "These figures show he's respected both in Alabama and nationwide."
