Our local Conservative Party
Our local Conservative Party does not give their endorsements lightly, and I am thankful for that fact.
Like our County and City Republican Party, they will interview anyone who respectfully asks for their endorsement, deliberate and then gives their decision.
My heartfelt thanks to our local Conservative Party Committee, their Chairman, and Vice-Chairman.
One very important quality in a Judge, and especially a City Court Judge is respect. Does he respect the people of the Community he serves? Does he respect their political affiliation? The answer is a resounding “Yes.” As a respected and experienced Jurist, Judge Rogers’ stellar resume speaks for itself. There is no substitute for experience. Judge Rogers’ genuine respect for the voters will be apparent in the upcoming election.
