Mike Rogers

The historians are telling us that the voters in the next presidential election will be looking for someone with foreign policy experience and that should give a decided edge to Hilary Clinton who as Secretary of State has met with foreign leaders on a regular basis. On the republican side there is one individual who has the experience to deal with issues of international importance and that is Congressman Mike Rogers. He is the chairman of the intelligence committee and has access to classified information and is well prepared to deal with areas like the Middle East, North Korea and Russia’s Ukraine. He is not running for re-election as he has decided to give someone else an opportunity to serve. He plans to become a talk radio host but if party officials approach him he may be open to the idea of running for president. He is a well-spoken veteran with over 20 year experience in public office. While he is a Washington insider his work has largely been behind the scenes and would be a fresh face on the national stage.
