Incumbent Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks) is facing a primary challenge from a former Alabama Superintendent of the Year for his third-district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Rogers is serving his sixth term. He was elected to replace Bob Riley in 2002, defeating Democrat Joe Turnham by a slim two percent margin. The 57-year-old Calhoun County resident sits on the House committees on Armed Services and Homeland Security. Prior to his election to the U.S. House Rogers served eight years representing Alabama House district 36.
