From a promising candidate in 1999 to a successful member of leadership in 2014, CQ Roll Call’s photography team has followed Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., throughout his career in Congress. Rogers’ retirement is expected to leave a “big hole” in the House, considering his extensive work with U.S. intelligence and national security.

Rogers is the 22nd member and 12th Republican to retire from Congress this cycle. You can find out more about retirements at Roll Call’s Casualty List.
