Rogers runs for the Congressional seat

Jet, March 11, 2002

Colorado Lt. Gov. Joe Rogers recently announced he will run for the state's new 7th Congressional District, a key seat in the battle for control of Congress. A Republican, the former attorney and Omaha native is joined by his wife, Juanita, and children Haley, 4, Jordan, 6, and Trent, 7. Rogers, 37, one of the highest-ranking Black officials in the nation, was elected to his current position in 1998.

He told reporters, "Colorado's new congressional seat represents a new point in terms of a new opportunity for Colorado, in terms of increasing our influence and power in the United States of America ... This represents a return to the passion that got me involved in politics in the first place."
