Wendy Rogers

 

 Ultra-MAGA Republican extremist and serial homophobe serving as a member of the Arizona State Senate, representing District 7. She assumed office on January 9, 2023. Her current term ends on January 13, 2025. Rogers ran for re-election to the Arizona State Senate to represent District 7. She won in the general election on November 8, 2022. Rogers also ran for re-election to the Arizona State Senate to represent District 6. She did not appear on the ballot for the Republican primary on August 2, 2022. Rogers was a member of the United States Air Force from 1976 to 1996. An outspoken supporter of Donald Trump, Rogers led a successful primary challenge in 2020 against incumbent Republican state senator Sylvia Allen and defeated Democrat Felicia French in the general election. She had previously made five unsuccessful campaigns for public office. Since her election, Rogers has emerged as a divisive and controversial figure, embracing inflammatory rhetoric including the white nationalist Great Replacement conspiracy theory, and appearing on TruNews. Rogers is a member of the "Oath Keepers", an alt-right anti-government militia whose members took part in the 2021 U.S. Capitol insurrection. In March 2022, the Republican-controlled Arizona Senate censured her for remarks she made at the America First Political Action Conference. Rogers is running for re-election to the Arizona State Senate to represent District 7. She is on the ballot in the general election on November 5, 2024. She advanced from the Republican primary on July 30, 2024.
A GOP Senator Used State Resources To Endorse A Cottonwood City Council Candidate
"Flagstaff Republican State Sen. Wendy Rogers appears to have violated Arizona’s version of the Hatch Act, which bars the use of government resources for campaign activity, after she published a letter on official Senate letterhead endorsing a candidate for Cottonwood City Council." [ . . . ] "In Arizona, lawmakers and other members of state government are prohibited from using government time, money or resources to campaign for a candidate or cause. Valley attorney Tom Ryan said Rogers’ post appears to be a “clear cut violation” of the state law commonly referred to as Arizona’s Hatch Act, a reference to a federal law that bars federal government employees from engaging in politicking at taxpayer expense."

On 9/11 Anniversary, GOP Sen. Wendy Rogers Boosts Old Trump Claim That Bombs Took Down The Towers
"Flagstaff Republican Sen. Wendy Rogers shared a post on the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks amplifying debunked conspiracy theories around the national tragedy. Rogers, known for her far-right affiliations and amplification of white nationalists along with election fraud conspiracy theories, reposted a user on X, formerly Twitter, spreading debunked claims of bombs in the building as well as an antisemitic conspiracy theory around the attacks. The post, by a user who has promoted a number of conspiracy theories, including ones with anti-vaccine messaging, shared part of a video clip of former President Donald Trump being interviewed by a New York television station on Sept. 11, 2001, discussing the attacks just hours after the twin towers at the World Trade Center collapsed."

Az State Sen. Wendy Rogers Posted Pro-Nazi Lyrics, Has Long History Of Amplifying Antisemites
"Over the years, she has become more ingrained with the far-right, and gone from amplifying their messages to participating in their events. In 2021, Rogers appeared multiple times on an online broadcast network that had made multiple antisemitic remarks. The network, TruNews, has a history of spreading antisemitic rhetoric, including a piece in which Rick Wiles, its founder, spent 90 minutes saying that “seditious Jews” were “orchestrating” Trump’s impeachment. Wiles has also called the Jewish people “tyrants” and claimed that the antichrist will be a “homosexual Jew.” "

"Two Arizona Republican state lawmakers have shared a debunked conspiracy theory that alleges, in part, that President Joe Biden is using body doubles. Sen. Wendy Rogers, R-Flagstaff, shared a now deleted post on X, formerly Twitter, falsely claiming that Jill Biden was in Paris and Washington, D.C., at the same time. The first lady left the White House and flew to France shortly after Biden spoke to the nation about dropping out of the race, PolitiFact reported, and the pictures were taken many hours apart." [ . . . ] "Rep. Joseph Chaplik, R-Scottsdale, shared a similar post, reposting an item by former CBS journalist Sharyl Attkisson, who has claimed falsely in the past that vaccines cause autism, a belief that has been thoroughly debunked."

Questions Resurface About Arizona Sen. Wendy Rogers' Residency
"Republican state Sen. Wendy Rogers listed a Tempe address on a campaign finance report, renewing questions about whether she actually lives in the rural Arizona district she represents. Since 2020, Rogers has represented a mostly rural district covering parts of Coconino, Gila, Navajo and Pinal counties. On campaign documents, she says she lives in a Flagstaff retirement community within that district, Legislative District 7. Last year, the Arizona Capitol Times reported Rogers and her husband purchased a home in Chandler in January 2023 and said they were “currently residing at” a home in Tempe on trust documents they signed as part of that transaction."

Arizona Republicans Demand GOP Candidate Withdraw Over Military Claims
"The Navajo County Republican Committee asked Steve Slaton, who is running to represent Legislative District 7, to end his campaign for falsely claiming that he was a Vietnam War veteran and that he had been awarded multiple military medals. A veterans group said Slaton trained as a helicopter repairman, not as a helicopter pilot, and he was stationed in Korea in 1974. Slaton also did not join the U.S. Army until June 1973 — three months after the final U.S. troops pulled out of Vietnam, the Arizona Republic reported. The Navajo County Republican Committee said he altered military discharge papers to falsely claim combat veteran status and showed "qualifications and awards which you have not earned." Slaton denied the accusations as a "left wing smear campaign.""

AZ Republicans Echo Kari Lake In Claiming Election Fraud Without Sharing Evidence
"At a Tuesday morning news conference, Sens. Sonny Borrelli and Wendy Rogers declined to name the source of their information. Their claims were quickly disputed by county election officials, who said it was "another example of people not understanding the election system and the data they are reviewing." Despite the senators' refusal to identify the source of their information, the passages Rogers cited at a morning news conference exactly matched a petition Kari Lake and Mark Finchem filed last week with the U.S. Supreme Court as they continued to argue that vote-counting machines are insecure. "While this breach has the game-changing magnitude of the Allies' deciphering Germany's ENIGMA machine in World War II, it is far worse," Rogers, R-Flagstaff, said.

"Republican Arizona State Senators David Gowan and Janae Shamp co-sponsored new legislation (SB 1683) which promotes the cross-certification of peace officers from adjacent states (California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico) and paves the way for out-of-state peace officers to work in Arizona law enforcement agencies. Fellow Republican Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers, who supports the legislation, as seen below, thanked Coconino Sheriff Jim Driscoll and his deputies “for putting forward SB 1683 to supplant [sic] Coconino County with cross-state-border law enforcement augmentation.”" [ . . . ] "Rogers’s celebration of out-of-state peace officers coming to Arizona and “supplanting” or “augmenting” local law enforcement agencies may be cause for alarm among some Arizonans — and federal officials — as she has been linked to the Oath Keepers, the “far-right anti-government militia whose leaders have been convicted of violently opposing the government of the United States.”"

Sen. Wendy Rogers Needs To Get Out Of Politics, The One Place She Surely Doesn’t Belong
"If you’re an Arizona state senator, the law says you need to live in the district you represent. Public records show that Arizona State Sen. Wendy Rogers and her husband own three homes. One in Tempe. One in Chandler. One in Flagstaff. Only the Flagstaff home is in her district. Which begs the question, where is Wendy Rogers? Is she in Tempe, Chandler or in Flagstaff?

The Republican from Lake Havasu didn’t finish his thought before Juan Mendez, a Democrat from Tempe, jumped to the speaker’s defense. “He doesn't have to abide by that rule,” Mendez said, referring to committee chair Wendy Rogers’ rule against using the phrase “conspiracy theory” in her committee. The three went back and forth until Rogers, a Republican from Flagstaff, threatened to remove Mendez from the room."

In Praise Of Sen. Wendy Rogers And Other Unhinged Election Denying Lawmakers

EJ Montini / Arizona Republic Mar. 1, 2023

 
"Not long ago, Republican state Sen. Wendy Rogers, the unhinged Arizona lawmaker running the joint Senate Elections and House Municipal Oversight and Elections committees, welcomed the testimony of an unhinged woman making unhinged accusations about bribery and connections to a drug cartel against the governor, the county supervisors, Maricopa County judges and even against the unhinged lawmakers who invited her.
 
Now, Republicans in the Legislature are suffering from ligament damage and tendon injuries from all the finger pointing.
 
Meantime, members of the press, other elected officials, social media respondents and the vast majority of, you know, sane people, condemned this one-flew-over-the-cuckoo’s-nest extravaganza as a horrible way for politicians to behave.
 
I understand where they’re coming from but … they are wrong.
 
They're doing what they promised: Nothing
 
Rogers and the rest of her mad mob should be celebrated, not condemned. Seriously, celebrated.
 

[...]

 
Rogers and her conspiracy crazed Republican cohorts are doing exactly what they promised they would do and, unwittingly, exactly what those of us with sound minds should want them to do.
 
Which is – nothing.
 
They can rant about all the debunked conspiracies they want. They can hold all the hearings they want. They can propose all the bizarre, irrational, irresponsible election bills they want. In the end, they will come away with – you guessed it – nothing."

Wendy Rogers To chair The Arizona Senate's Election Committee?
"Aaaand the crazy just keeps on a’coming in Arizona. Sen. Wendy Rogers on Friday announced she’s been appointed to chair the committee that will deal with election law. (That is, assuming the Republicans maintain control of the chamber.) “Arizona WILL NOW get it’s house in order with @KariLake to ratify Election Integrity bills via Special Session come January 2023. #LockandLoad #State48” she tweeted. Rogers is perhaps the looniest legislator that Arizona has elected … ever. She built a national following on the far right by ranting about election conspiracies and railing about George Soros and the cabal of Jews, elites and other nefarious characters who plot to create a New World Order. She lauds white nationalists as “patriots” and warns about immigrant invasions and the conspiracy to take over our country."

Republican State Sen. Wendy Rogers Urges Voters To Lie To Poll Workers On Election Day

EJ Montini / Arizona Republic Sep. 21, 2022

 
"This being Arizona, it figures that a politician who continues to spread the Big Lie about election fraud – with absolutely no proof – would be the one caught on tape making a sleazy attempt to convince people to lie to poll workers when they go to vote on Election Day.
 
It also figures – this being Arizona – that the politician making such a sleazy suggestion is … you guessed it … state Sen. Wendy Rogers.
 
It happened at a in Payson recently. Rogers kept reporters out of the meeting but a recording was made and came to the attention of resourceful journalists at the Payson Roundup.
 
They quoted Rogers, who is perhaps the most unhinged member of the Arizona Legislature (which is saying A LOT), urging those at the meeting to participate in a deceitful, bone-headed scheme Rogers believed would undermine trust in Arizona’s mail-in ballot process. Something she would like to do away with, even though it is safe and is used by the vast majority of Arizonans of all political parties.
 
Rogers says on the tape, “You’re going to get a vote in the mail like I will. About 83% vote by mail. Keep it sealed. Put it in your pocket. Wait until Election Day. Then go in and say, ‘Hi, I’m Nancy Cox.’ They’ll say, ‘Oh, you’ve voted already.’ You say, ‘I haven’t voted. I’ll take a provisional ballot.’ And Nancy Cox votes. Then you call the sheriff’s office. Call and say, ‘I have an identity theft problem. Please come up and document it.’ Why do this? This just shuts down one of the avenues of deceit. Are they going to steal this election? Oh yeah – they’re going to try to steal it.”
 
Who's disrupting the election process?
 
They?
 
Really?
 
Because the only double-dealing going on here is by Rogers.
 
And should that surprise anyone?
 
After all, this is the same politician who supports the proudly antisemitic, homophobic Oklahoma Legislature candidate Jarrin Jackson.
 
The same politician who has hung out with Holocaust-denier Nick Fuentes.
 
The same politician who is an Oath Keeper, whose leader and others are charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection.
 
The same politician who is , believes her personally designated “traitors” should be publicly hanged, promotes QAnon lunacy, backed the vile Alex Jones over the mourning parents of murdered children in Sandy Hook, and has tweeted an antisemitic photo of herself next to a dead rhino branded with the Star of David that reads, “I stand with the Christians worldwide not the global bankers who are shoving godlessness and degeneracy in our face.”
 
We all know where Rogers is coming from
 
Rogers has been in conflict with the Gila County Republican Party and she has been censured by the Republican-controlled Arizona Legislature.
 
Now, she’s asking voters to lie at the polls. And for what? Gila County Elections Director Eric Mariscal said her idiotic scheme involving a trumped-up notion of identity theft would not fool anyone and made no sense. Mariscal said, “I’m not sure where (Rogers) is coming from.”
 
That’s easy. The location is always the same.
 
Whenever Rogers says anything, does anything or goes anywhere, she comes out of left field."

"After vowing to create jobs, Arizona state senator Wendy Rogers said she intends to put more than 1 million Americans out of work. Federal employees, specifically. And Arizona has a lot of ‘em. Rogers promised it would be a “fed boy summer” in the wake of a racist mass shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, in May. Political observers said Rogers was employing the debunked trope that the attack was a false-flag operation, kindling her apathy toward the federal government. Attention all fed boys: Enjoy your summer while you still can. The first-term Republican from Flagstaff made her stance on fed boys crystal clear in a tweet on Monday. And yes, "fed boy" indeed means the federal government, her attorney Tim LaSota confirmed in a June 17 report from the Arizona Senate Ethics Committee."

Show Me The Money, Wendy Rogers. Most Of Her Campaign Money Comes From Beyond Arizona

Mar. 23, 2022

 
"This fall, Nick Jongebloed, a wellness coach out in Lewisville, North Carolina, began to pay attention to one particular lawmaker in Arizona — Wendy Rogers.
 
He had no connection to the state. But he was captivated by her social media crusades on voter fraud and believed Rogers when she said that she was fighting for a “movement” beyond just Arizona. He became a $15-a-month contributor to her campaign.
 
As Arizona’s high-profile, far-right state lawmaker begins her campaign for re-election, Rogers has plenty of money in her political war chest.
 
Much of it comes from people like Jongebloed: small-time donors with little connection to Arizona but are devoted to Rogers’ platform. A Phoenix New Times analysis found that donations came from every state in the country, spiking when Rogers appeared on far-right podcasts or collected endorsements.
 
This following has given Rogers significant resources, despite being rebuked and censured by her colleagues in the Senate in recent weeks. This, despite her refusal to apologize for increasingly unhinged comments, which critics say often tacitly endorse white nationalism and racist conspiracies."

It Took Her 10 Years To Win Office. Now, Wendy Rogers Is On The National Radar With Her Hard-Right Incendiary Rhetoric

Mar. 11, 2022

 
"Wendy Rogers always has been a hard-edged conservative political candidate, taking extreme positions on abortion, LGBTQ rights and other issues that have raised concern among left-leaning voters and Democrats.
 
Rogers took a harder right turn in the Trump era and finally won political office in 2020 after 10 years of trying.
 
As a state senator for Flagstaff and part of northern Arizona, she’s been pushing for extreme changes to the election system that have caused even some Republicans to recoil, like eliminating mailed ballots for most voters.
 
But that’s not all that changed after she gained office
 
Rogers, 67, turned up the heat. She became far more prolific on social media as her fandom grew, and her rhetoric grew bolder — and meaner. She’s turned into one of the state’s greatest dividers, with her statements recently going too far for most of her Republican peers in the state Senate.
 
Most of them voted with Democrats on March 1 to censure her.
 
The historic action came amid criticism of Rogers for appearing via video at a Florida conference hosted by Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist and Holocaust denier who attended the violent “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in 2017 and rallied his followers on Jan. 6, 2021, to storm the Capitol and overturn the presidential election results. In the video, Rogers grinned as she spoke of convicting, then hanging, political enemies.
 
"If we try some of these high-level criminals, convict them, and use a newly built set of gallows, it’ll make an example for these traitors who have betrayed our country," she told the group. "They have yet to be justly punished for the crimes they have committed.”
 
She heaped lavish praise on Fuentes, who infamously compared Jews to cookies in an oven in an October 2019 web broadcast, saying the "math" adds up to "only 200,000 to 300,000 cookies," not 6 million, and made other antisemitic remarks.". .

Robert E. Lee and proponents of the “bioweapon” coronavirus vaccine. “We need to build more gallows,” the speaker said, adding that such a deadly fate would “make an example of these traitors who’ve betrayed our country.”"

Arizona Sen. Wendy Rogers Censured By Senate After Calling For Public Hangings, Attacking Ukraine's President

March 1, 2022

 
"Republican and Democratic state senators joined together Tuesday in a historic vote to censure Sen. Wendy Rogers following violent and discriminatory comments she made to a white nationalist conference and on social media attacking the president of Ukraine.
 
Thirteen Democrats and 11 Republicans voted for the censure language read on the Senate floor. It was the first time in three decades senators publicly censured one of their own members, and the move was applauded by Gov. Doug Ducey — who just days ago was criticized for his support of Rogers.
 
Rogers engaged in “conduct unbecoming of a senator, including publicly issuing and promoting social media and video messages encouraging violence against and punishment of American citizens and making threatening statements declaring 'political destruction' of those who disagree with her views. The senator from District 6 has damaged the reputation of the Arizona state Senate by her actions," Sen. Rick Gray said, reading the censure motion.

Rogers, R-Flagstaff, was the first to speak about her censure, citing a "corrupted process" and painting the issue as one of First Amendment free speech rights. She slammed her peers for "colluding with the Democrats to attempt to destroy my reputation."

Some In GOP Repudiate Sen. Wendy Rogers After Comments Calling For Executions, Attacking Ukraine's President
"The country is "forcibly vaccinating people with a bioweapon … it’s criminal!” she said. “When we do take back our God-given rights, we will bring these criminals to justice. We need to build more gallows. If we try some of these high-level criminals, convict them, and use a newly built set of gallows, it’ll make an example for these traitors who have betrayed our country. They have yet to be justly punished for the crimes they have committed.” On Twitter, Rogers also posted over the weekend that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "is a globalist puppet for Soros and the Clintons," naming the Democratic mega-donor George Soros and the political dynasty. In another post, she claimed "half of the combat footage of Kiev out there is from a video game." She said she refused to spell the Ukrainian capital city Kyiv, saying Kiev was the preferred "American spelling."

If we try some of these high-level criminals, convict them and use a newly built set of gallows, it’ll make an example of these traitors who have betrayed our country,” Sen. Wendy Rogers, R-Flagstaff, said Feb. 25 in her speech to the white nationalist America First Political Action Conference in Florida. Rogers told the white nationalists who were assembled in the ballroom at the Orlando World Center Marriott that they were “patriots.” She addressed the AFPAC crowd remotely, speaking from Arizona, where she said she was busy pushing legislation. Rogers effusively praised Nick Fuentes, the event’s racist organizer [...] AFPAC opened with Fuentes soliciting a round of applause from the crowd for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The white nationalists chanted in response, “Putin! Putin! Putin!” In his closing speech, Fuentes said “the United States is the evil empire in the world.” “Now, they’re going and saying, “‘Vladimir Putin is Adolf Hitler,’ as if that isn’t a good thing,”"

The ‘Groyper Army’ Is Looking To Make White Nationalism Mainstream. It Has Key Allies In Arizona Politics

"The Republican state senator was clear in what she wanted in a recent post on Telegram, the encrypted messaging app that has become a haven for far-right politics and extremists. “Dear Groyper army, please hit Ron Watkins. Love, Wendy,” she wrote. State Sen. Wendy Rogers was asking her fans and allies in the “groyper army” to go after the QAnon conspiracy theorist turned Congressional candidate because he had alleged Rogers, who has built her political brand on spreading lies about the 2020 election, was involved in some sort of “backroom deal” that was preventing Splunk logs and routers from being examined for alleged election fraud. There is no evidence of such a backroom deal."

Republican Lawmaker Basically Begs Anti-Vax Truckers To Blockade The Super Bowl

Feb. 7, 2022

 
"For the past 11 days, hundreds of protestors, many of whom are driving big-rig trucks have occupied Canada’s capital city of Ottawa, blocking streets and disrupting the city with raucous demonstrations. These trucker protests, led by the so-called “Freedom Convoy” now besieging Ottawa, began after the Canadian and U.S. government enacted a rule requiring cross-border truckers to be fully vaccinated in order to get into either of the two countries.
 
The protests, like massive, heavily polarized movements are wont to do, spiraled into a wider, incoherent demonstration against public health measures as a whole. And now, they may be coming to the U.S. 
 
Analysts watching right-wing chatter on apps like Telegram have recently seen an outpouring of organizing around direct actions similar to Canada’s trucker protests, which spread from the Ottawa occupation to large disruptive actions across the country, including at a border crossing to the U.S. in Alberta. In particular, some right wingers seem to be plotting to shut down the Super Bowl this weekend. Trump megafan and Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers took up that mantle yesterday, giving us this particularly bizarre take: "
 

"If truckers shut down the Super Bowl it would partially be payback for Colin Kaepernick and the kneeling."

Wingnut Wendy Rogers 2022 Anti-Trans Bills

 
"Senate Bill 1045 would penalize school personnel, from principals to counselors, if they encourage a student to withhold their transgender identity from their parents, or if the school official withholds such information from the parent. It also would make it a felony for a physician to do any kind of gender-altering treatment on a minor.

Senate Bill 1046, also sponsored by Rogers, is similar to the bill the Judiciary Committee approved earlier Thursday. It would allow any student who challenges their assignment to a team to appeal the decision if they present a doctor's testimony establishing the student's gender based on the student's internal and external reproductive organs, a genetic analysis and the student's testosterone levels."

Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Greers’ call to celebrate Confederate generals came on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, in an apparent message to his supporters that he believes in the tenants of the Confederacy over those the slain civil rights leader. Rogers retweeted the controversial message just days after she spoke at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Florence, Arizona. “Arizona is a red state,” Rogers declared during the rally. “We are not turning purple.” The Arizona lawmaker, who has embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory and pushed allegations that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, also led the crowd in chanting “decertify” during the rally."

When that didn’t work, she moved from her home in Tempe to a travel trailer in Flagstaff in 2020, hoping to land a spot in the state Legislature. She spent more than a million dollars to win her seat in 2020, running a slash-and-burn campaign against then-Sen. Sylvia Allen. Rogers actually charged that Allen, one of the Legislature’s most conservative members, was “not conservative enough.”"

Arizona Lawmaker Proposes Two Draconian Anti-Trans Bills For 2022 Session
"The author of both proposed measures is Republican state Senator Wendy Rogers (R-SD6), an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump and a member of the Oath Keepers, an anti-government militia organization whose members took part in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. This past Fall in October 2021, Rogers spoke at a QAnon-linked political conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. Rogers first measure, Senate Bill 1045 would prohibit medical procedures that affirm the gender identity of children and teens who are transgender. The law would ban medical professionals in Arizona from performing gender affirming surgeries on Trans minors and also would forbid prescribing testosterone to Trans male youth or estrogen to Trans female youth who are under 18. Any Health professional found guilty would be convicted as a Class 4 felony offender, with a prison sentence of one to three years. Her second measure, Senate Bill 1046 would restrict transgender children from participating in sports at public and private schools, community colleges and universities. The measure would divide all interscholastic and intramural sports teams into male, female and co-ed teams “based on biological sex."

Sen. Wendy Rogers Is Misleading Voters In An Attempt To Lighten Their Wallets
Laurie Roberts/Arizona Republic Published 12:10 p.m. MT Apr. 13, 2021
- - -
"Sen. Wendy Rogers may have failed in her quest to turn doctors into felons but she's hoping to turn a tidy profit by misleading voters about her bill’s prospects.
The Flagstaff Republican on Sunday sent out a campaign fundraising email, hoping to raise cash off of her proposal to virtually outlaw abortion.
“I am proud that Arizona may be among the first states to pass a Heartbeat Bill,” she wrote. “HB 2140 passed the Senate Appropriations Committee and hopefully is headed to the Senate floor – further than it's ever been.”
Actually, the only place her bill is headed is to the trash heap.
 
The bill will not get a floor debate
 

Rogers put out her plea for money on Sunday, five days after Senate President Karen Fann said she would not bring the bill to the floor for debate. The bill would make it a class 3 felony for doctors to perform an abortion after a heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as five and a half weeks.

“This bill was not vetted properly with stakeholders to ensure it is constitutional,” Fann told Capitol Media Services’ Howard Fischer on April 6, adding that Rogers didn’t check with her fellow Republicans to see if they’d support her proposal.

Yet five days later, there was Rogers, a self-described “pro-Trump firebrand” pleading for money “to make sure I can get the truth out there”.
Rogers is what you might call a stand-out at the state Capitol, so far out there on the fringe that she’s in a legislative league of her own.
She spent a decade trying to convince voters to send her to Congress, going so far as to baselessly accuse a Republican rival of having ties to a sex-trafficking ring in 2018. When that didn’t work, she moved from Tempe to a travel trailer in Flagstaff last year, hoping the Legislature would be a springboard to loftier heights.
 
Rogers has misled others before
 
She spent more than a million dollars to win a seat in the state Legislature in 2020, running a slash-and-burn campaign against then-Sen. Sylvia Allen – charging that one of the most conservative members of the Legislature was “not conservative enough”.
Rogers’ campaign was so obnoxious that state Rep. Walter Blackman, a Snowflake Republican and staunch conservative, told the Arizona Capitol Times after the primary election that he would not campaign with or even vote for her, saying she phonied up endorsements.
“Integrity is a big deal,” Blackman said. “When she went to my neighbors, people I go to church with, people that I serve as a sitting representative and lied about their endorsements, it’s really hard for me to hitch on to someone’s wagon and really effectively campaign with them.”
Perhaps Rogers’ biggest legislative accomplishment thus far has been escaping censure from the Senate Ethics Committee. In March, the panel on a partyline vote dismissed a workplace harassment complaint, filed by a former aide even before the legislative session began. 
Now she’s raising money for what undoubtedly will be another bruiser campaign in 2022.
 
Not even Cathi Herrod was pushing this bill
 
Which brings us back to Sunday’s plea for money, in which she points to her (doomed) abortion bill as Exhibit A in showcasing her legislative effectiveness.
Speaking of “truth,” I reached out to Rogers to ask her whether it’s ethical to mislead people about her bill’s prospects in order to raise money.
 
I’m still awaiting her answer.
 
In fact, her original abortion bill never even got a hearing in the Senate. Instead, it was revived late last month when the Senate Appropriations Committee amended it as replacement language on a bill dealing with license plate design that already had cleared the House.
Not even the state’s most ardent anti-abortion lobbyist, the Center for Arizona Policy’s Cathi Herrod, pushed for passage of Rogers’ bill, telling Fischer she was focused on bills that actually have a chance of becoming law, both politically and legally.
“The courts have declined to uphold heartbeat laws as constitutional,” Herrod said.
You sure wouldn’t know it from Rogers’ fundraising letter, in which she also touts a bill to establish a $30 million Border Security Fund and asks supporters to send “the largest donation you can afford.”
“In the age of Biden, you can’t back down,” she wrote. “You have to stand up for your beliefs to show the people that America First policies work!”
If one of those beliefs is to grift money from suckers by outright lying to them, then yeah, Rogers is not just standing up. She’s standing tall."

Wendy Rogers And The Rural Arizona PAC

"Dwight Kadar researched and wrote an article titled “Follow The Wendy Rogers Campaign Money Trail,” which appeared in the July 26 issue of the Arizona Daily Independent.

"Here’s an interesting piece of information discovered by Mr. Kadar:

 
Rogers’ money trail starts in Aspen, Colorado with one of Colorado’s “top ten” political donors, Tatnall Hillman. Mr. Hillman is the son of John Hartwell Hillman, Jr. who made his billions from coal, steel, and gas. Mr. and Mrs. Hillman donated the maximum of $5,200 each, a total of $10,400, directly to the 2020 Rogers campaign in March 2019. Hillman also contributed $235,000 to the Washington, D.C.- based Rural Arizona (Federal) PAC, which in turn contributed $200,000 to the Washington, D.C.- based Rural Arizona (State) PAC, who then spent almost $100,000 on mailers, radio ads, and other campaign communications against Senator Allen. This kind of “pea-in-the-shell” or “dark money” game happens in national elections, not in rural Arizona state election races. This has allowed the Rogers campaign, with all its signage, mailers, radio ads, etc., to generate name recognition to influence “low-information” voters. Arizona voters have come to expect nothing less from Rogers since she can’t run on issues and policies because she doesn’t know them.
One more fact that should not go unnoticed by LD6 voters – more than $250,000* has been paid to Go Right Strategies of Orange Park, Florida for “professional consulting services.” Go Right Strategies, whose president is Rogers’ nephew Spence Rogers, has received more than twice the total amount of money raised by the Allen campaign. This kind of campaign finance nepotism has been practiced by Bernie Sanders and his wife.
*As of July 27, $329,309.04 had been paid to Go Right Strategies.

Wendy Rogers stated in the July 31 issue of Republican Briefs: “I am not backed by any PACs, lobbyists or special interests.""
