He will be the first Alabama congressman to serve in the role.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Mike Rogers has been named chairman of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee.
“Alabama has always played a critical role in supporting our national security,” Rogers said. “As the first congressman from Alabama to serve as chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, I look forward to continuing that legacy.” It’s a natural move for Rogers as he has served as the ranking member of the Home Armed Services Committee from 2021 until 2023. He also served as a ranking member of the Committee on Homeland Security in the 116th Congress from 2019 until 2021.
“I am honored to have been selected by my House Republican colleagues to serve as chairman of the House Armed Services Committee,” Rogers said. “Our nation faces unprecedented threats from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. In order to deter these threats and remain the most feared force in the world — we must ensure that our military focuses on lethality and capability.
