Broker ally retiring from U.S. House for media gig

Published 2 Min Read

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) announced Friday he will not seek re-election in 2014 and will instead join Cumulus, the talk radio company, according to reports. The 14-year veteran of the U.S. House of Representatives has been a friend to brokers and agents, sponsoring several versions of the medical-loss ratio bill to help save broker commissions slashed by the Affordable Care Act.

“As I close this chapter please know that I am not finished with the effort to bring back American ‘exceptionalism,’” Rogers said in a statement. “Not in the sense of a great notion, but in the sense of impacting the hopes and dreams of a great nation and her people. You may have lost my vote in Congress but not my voice. I look forward to building on our successes and confronting America’s challenges together.”
