Rogers' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Leadership

  • Excerpt: "Reaching consensus is especially difficult with people from different cultural backgrounds and different value systems. Collaborating to draw consensus is a skill she has highly developed over many years of establishing common agendas, goals, and results at the community college and at Alignment."

Insure TN

  • Excerpt: "Insure Tennessee is a critically important opportunity for the state of Tennessee to expand insurance coverage to low-income working families who otherwise cannot afford insurance or cannot be covered under the current Medicaid (TennCare) program in Tennessee."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Common Core was intended to set a high standard for teaching and to incorporate teaching focused on developing critical thinking skills. Teachers have not been inspired by what has been developed and re-framing this objective so that all share it needs to occur."
