Biographical Info:

James Rogers is a sixth-generation Arizonan, a father of four, and a constitutional attorney with degrees from Harvard Law School and the University of Cambridge. He has fought and won cases that matter to Arizona families. He kept Biden’s federal vaccine mandate out of Arizona, sued Mesa Public Schools for hiding students’ gender transitions from their parents, litigated important election integrity cases, and sued to fight the Biden Administration’s open-border policies. He has also helped draft legislation at the Arizona Legislature, including Proposition 314, the Secure the Border Act, along with bills on parental rights and property rights protections.

Statement:

Do you want to go the way of California and Colorado, former red states that are now permanently blue? Or do you want to go the way of Florida, a purple state that is now solidly red? This election will decide which path Arizona takes. I am running for the Arizona House because I have the skills, experience, and backbone to help make Arizona permanently red. My priorities are straightforward: making it affordable for young Arizonans to start families; fixing our election laws; protecting children in our schools from radical gender ideology; standing fearlessly for the unborn; fighting illegal immigration; and protecting our Second Amendment rights. On elections, Arizona deserves what Florida has: fast, accurate, and trustworthy results. As an election integrity lawyer who has litigated these issues and has already drafted bills for the Legislature, I will be the only Representative with the specialized knowledge of election law to craft the reforms we need. Representative Justin Olson and I are running together as a slate in LD10. Arizona’s future is not predetermined. It will be decided by the citizens of districts like LD10, and by the representatives they send to the Capitol. I would be honored to be yours.
