PANAMA CITY, FL — Today, Austin Rogers announced a major endorsement from one of the nation’s most prominent conservative leaders: Representative Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
Chairman Jordan’s endorsement continues a groundswell of national and local support for Rogers in the final stretch before the August 18 Republican primary. Following recent endorsements from House Majority Whip Tom Emmer and Congressman Greg Steube, Jordan highlighted Rogers’ extensive legal experience as a former Senate Chief Counsel and his commitment to constitutional principles as key reasons for his backing.
In endorsing Austin Rogers, Chairman Jim Jordan stated:
“Austin Rogers is a strong conservative with the skills, experience, and backbone needed to make a real difference in Washington. At a time when America First principles are under constant attack from the left, Austin will hold the line, defend our values, and fight for the people of Florida’s Second Congressional District. His service as General Counsel to Senators Lindsey Graham and Rick Scott gives him the policy experience and judgment needed to hit the ground running. Now, more than ever, we need leaders like Austin Rogers in Congress.“
In response to the Chairman’s endorsement, Austin Rogers issued the following statement:
“I’m grateful to Chairman Jordan for his endorsement and support. It was an honor working with him and his team on judiciary issues as a Chief Counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee. And it is an honor to earn the support of one of our nation’s top conservative leaders. I look forward to partnering with Chairman Jordan and our House conservative allies to hold federal agencies accountable, protect our constitutional rights, and advance President Trump’s agenda from day one.”
Chairman Jordan’s endorsement further solidifies Rogers as the conservative consensus candidate in Florida’s 2nd Congressional District, adding to a coalition that includes top House leaders, constitutional champions, 35 local elected officials, and grassroots conservative leaders across the Panhandle.
