Hello Kentucky students, and welcome to my website. I strongly believe that young people with the gift of a quality education are the key to our Commonwealth’s future.
It is important for all students to learn about our government and the legislative process. Please take advantage of the resources below to find out more about the U.S. government and the history of our great nation.
Thank you again for your interest in what I do. I wish you the best of luck in your studies and in pursuing your dreams.
Congressman Rogers with Don Combs, the first-ever Congressional Award Gold Medalist from Kentucky's 5th Congressional District (June 2012)
The Congressional Award - Participate in a national award program that recognizes the achievements, intiative and service of America's youth. I will be proud to present Gold Medalists from the Fifth Congressional District with their awards each year. For more information, call my Somerset District Office at 1-800-632-8588 or the Congressional Award Office in Washington, DC at 1-888-80-AWARD.
The Congressional Art Competition -- Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district. Since the Artistic Discovery competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated.
Students submit entries to their representative’s office, and panels of district artists select the winning entries. Winners are recognized both in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC. The winning works are displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol.
