Rogers Rakes in the Dough!

Our very own U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks) is making headlines! Just before his committee gave the thumbs-up to the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, Rogers topped the fundraising charts in Alabama's U.S. House crew.

Power & Pocketbooks

Rogers, who's been representing Alabama's 3rd District since way back in '03 and leading the House Armed Services Committee since '23, is sitting pretty with $2,393,061.39 in the bank, according to his latest FEC filing.

That's a whole lotta cheddar! It makes him the wealthiest Republican in the state's congressional posse, nipping at the heels of Democrat U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (D-Birmingham), who boasts a cool $3.6 million.

Fundraising Firepower

But the real kicker? Rogers pulled in a whopping $413,843.19 this last quarter – one of his best showings ever! To put it in perspective, U.S. Senator Katie Britt hauled in $779,512.55 during the same period.

Alabama Roots

Being the head honcho of the House Armed Services Committee definitely has its perks, giving Rogers major sway over defense matters. Plus, as a sixth-generation East Alabama boy, he's got deep ties to the 3rd District. His campaign claims it's this winning combo that makes him so effective both in D.C. and back home.

A Word from the Campaign

"Chairman Rogers wouldn't be where he is without his generous supporters," a campaign spokesperson said. "These numbers show he's a respected leader, not just in Alabama, but nationwide."
