| − | ==Bio==
| + | |
| − | ===Background===
| + | |
| − | Rogers was born in Monticello, Kentucky December 31, 1937. He was educated at the University of Kentucky, served in the [[w:North Carolina|North Carolina]] [[w:Army National Guard|Army National Guard]], and was a lawyer before entering the House.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Congressional Career===
| + | |
| − | He was the Republican nominee for [[w:Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky|Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky]] in 1979, losing in the general election to Democrat [[w:Martha Layne Collins|Martha Layne Collins]]. The following year Rogers won election to Congress.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In 2003 the [[w:Daniel Boone|Daniel Boone]] Parkway, a part of the Kentucky system of toll roads, was renamed the Hal Rogers Parkway (over the objection of some historians) in honor of Rogers efforts to have the parkway's construction bonds paid by the federal government. This action resulted in the ending of toll collection, as required by Kentucky law when a parkway's construction bonds are paid off by toll collections or other means. The highway runs through Rogers' district, and is scheduled to become part of an expanded Interstate 66.
| + | |

| − | ====2006 elections====
