NEWS RELEASE

As a former member of the U.S. Congress representing Michigan’s Eighth Congressional District, member of the U.S. Army and FBI special agent, Mike Rogers is in a unique position to shape the national debate on a wide variety of issues. Rogers uses his insider perspective gained from travelling the globe—from the Middle East to South America—to host Something to Think About with Mike Rogers on Westwood One.

From his time in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he chaired the powerful House Intelligence Committee and was a member of the Energy and Commerce panel, Rogers built a legacy as a tireless and effective leader on cybersecurity, counterterrorism and national security policy. Washington Post columnist David Ignatius remarked, Rogers was “a rare example of bipartisanship.”

Rogers has worked with two presidents, Congressional leadership and countless foreign leaders, diplomats and intelligence professionals to ensure the brave men and women who fight for our nation are equipped with the resources necessary to get the job done.

Rogers is a CNN national security contributor and also appears in the major print outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press.
