He said he envisions a county party that has space for groups on both ends of the conservative spectrum.
“I’m letting everyone know they are welcome,” he said.

“If you talk to these people ... their worldview is exactly the same as ours. They should be voting Republican,” Rogers said. “But they don’t. So what we need to do is get them to understand, and the only way to do that is to engage them at the personal level.”
