Chairman Walden’s Statement on Congressman Mike Rogers’ Retirement Announcement

WASHINGTON – National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden released the following statement today on Rep. Mike Rogers’ (R-MI) retirement announcement:

“Mike Rogers is without equal in the halls of Congress. First as an FBI agent and later as chairman of the House Committee on Intelligence, Mike has spent his entire life ensuring our country has been kept safe from threats—both foreign and domestic. He never once let partisan politics stand in the way of doing what’s right for our nation and its safety. I can’t think of anyone who enjoys more respect from both Republicans and Democrats alike.

“After a life spent in service to our country, it’s only fitting that Mike and his family enjoy some much deserved time to themselves. I wish them all the best and have every confidence we will elect another Republican leader from this district in November.”
