Brownwood News – A large crowd of Republicans gathered Tuesday during the noon hour at the Brownwood Country Club to hear a U.S. Congressman endorse a candidate running for the Texas House of Representatives.
Brownwood Mayor, Stephen Haynes (above), made opening remarks and then introduced U.S. Representative Mike Conaway (R) District 11. Conaway told Brownwoodnews.com his endorsement for Rogers is based on proven leadership. “He’s a very intelligent fellow, a veterinarian by practice. He’s had good experience as a small businessman running a vet clinic and also working as an educator and in the corporate world,” Conaway said. He added that he believes Rogers will take his talent and skill set to Austin and work with the 149 other members of the Texas House and work his way into a leadership role.
After being introduced by Congressman Conaway (above), Dr. Rogers spoke for a few minutes and asked the crowd for their vote on the first day of early voting. Afterwards, he visited with Brownwoodnews.com:
“We’re thrilled to have Congressman Conaway’s endorsement. He has done an excellent job as a U.S. Congressman, he was the Chair of the House Ag Committee. He has been a very influential Congressman and has represented his district very well,” Rogers said.
Rogers (shown above) said he encourages everyone to get out and vote. “I would encourage you to really study the candidates, look at our leadership experiences, look at our bios and really study who we are and then make the decision. This race will be over March 3rd, that’s the primary. There is no Democrat in the race so don’t wait to vote in November. You need to vote now,” Rogers concluded.
