During his visit to Tallapoosa County this week, Congressman Mike Rogers spoke about the importance of creating and maintaining good paying jobs throughout Tallapoosa County and all of East Alabama.

Rogers was in town to receive an update from the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce on their current campaign, held a “Congress on Your Corner” event in Dadeville and toured AES Mechanical in Tallassee.

At the “Congress on Your Corner” event, Rogers gave a Washington update and spoke about the burden Obamacare has put on folks across East Alabama, next steps in fighting against President Obama’s illegal executive amnesty and highlighted some of his work on his three committees.

At AES Mechanical, Rogers reiterated the importance of small businesses across East Alabama.

“Small businesses make up the backbone of our local economies and I was pleased to see the good work they are doing in Tallassee,” Rogers said after the visit.

“I love being back home in Alabama and visiting with folks across the district,” Rogers said. “I appreciate everyone who took the time to come and express their concerns.”

Rogers serves as Chairman of the House Armed Services Strategic Forces subcommittee and is a senior member of the House Agriculture and House Homeland Security Committees.
