Mike D. Rogers

Overview

Rep. Mike D. Rogers of Alabama is a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives with a substantial voting record of 680 recorded votes. His voting patterns reflect a generally conservative outlook that nonetheless falls closer to the center of the Republican Party than many of his colleagues. Rogers has been particularly active on healthcare legislation, where his record shows a mixed pattern — voting in favor of some healthcare measures while opposing others, including motions to recommit on Medicaid and health insurance premium bills. On fiscal matters such as budgets and taxation, he consistently supports Republican-led spending plans and tax proposals, voting in favor roughly three-quarters of the time. His environment and energy votes show near-unanimous support for measures that include disapproval of certain EPA regulations and ratepayer protection legislation. On defense and agriculture — both significant issues for Alabama — Rogers shows a two-thirds approval rate, reflecting selective support rather than a blanket party-line approach. His criminal justice record stands out with a 92% yea rate across 13 votes, while his foreign policy votes trend in the opposite direction, with a majority of nay votes. He has a limited but notable record on labor issues, where he voted against proposed measures more often than not.
