Originally from South Carolina, Mr Rogers proudly has devoted his life to education and serving his community.. He has resided in the Town of Leesburg since 2003 and has worked as a teacher and administrator for Fairfax and Loudoun County Public Schools. He is an enthusiastic supporter of the Fine & Performing Arts, Special Education, Very Special Arts and the Northern Virginia Down Syndrome Association. Over the years he has volunteered his time for a variety of organizations that have included support of the homeless, autism and law enforcement. During his teaching career his theatre arts program was a winner of multiple awards that included SEAC, VHSL, VTA and CAPPIES. He has served at the state level with the Virginia Department of Education reviewing & revising the SOL’s for Theatre Arts and with the Virginia Fine Arts Coalition for Education.
  • Education is the cornerstone of all great societies. We must support all school initiatives and increase teacher pay across the board.
  • Law Enforcement provides a safe and secure environment for all communities. We must fully fund our bravest and finest citizens.
  • Jobs are key! We must provide an inviting environment for future businesses.
The number one job as an elected representative is to listen to the residents. I want to connect to their concerns and their ideas. Education is priority number one. Teachers must be supported and paid in a way that brings the brightest minds to Virginia with the benefits that keep them in Virginia. Our communities must be safe and we must support our Law Enforcement. Of course none of this is possible without a booming economy. We must continue creating new jobs so that everyone can pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I promise to be a collaborator and a bridge builder in order to best serve my constituents in District 29. Virginia has a rich history of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving. I look forward to solving problems, building a better Virginia and creating a community where everyone feels safe, supported and valued for the contributions they make to the commonwealth.
I am a collaborator and a critical thinker who listens first and then speaks.
A legislator that made Virginia a better place for all.
My first job was as a dishwasher in a local steakhouse. I eventually worked my way up to busboy and eventually waiter.
The support of law enforcement, economy and religious freedoms must be at the top of every list.
Relationships are an integral part of any worthwhile endeavor. I will always offer and open hand and an attentive ear to all I work with!
Collaboration and compromise is a cornerstone of great societies.
I will serve in any capacity that supports the commonwealth.
