FREE ENTERPRISE FUND PAC SAYS "DRAFT ROGAN NOW!"
ORANGE COUNTY LEADERS AND FREE ENTERPRISE FUND PAC KICK OFF MOVEMENT TO DRAFT FORMER U.S. REP. JAMES ROGAN FOR CONGRESS
Washington, D.C. – Calling him “the right man at the right time,” Mallory Factor, chairman and president of the Free Enterprise Fund PAC, called Wednesday for former U.S. Rep. Jim Rogan, R-Calif., to “Run Jim, Run!” and join the field of candidates seeking to replace U.S. Rep. Chris Cox, R-Calif., in the 48th Congressional District.
Cox, who has represented the Orange County, Calif.-based district since 1989, is President George W. Bush’s choice to lead the federal Securities and Exchange Commission. He will have to resign from Congress once he is confirmed in the post by the U.S. Senate.
“Jim Rogan would provide the same kind of energetic leadership Chris Cox has afforded the district,” said Thomas A. Fuentes, the chairman emeritus of the Republican Party of Orange County, Calif. “The possibility of a Rogan candidacy will excite conservatives at the grassroots. They should all loudly second the effort to draft him so that he can again put his enormous talent and intellectual ability to work on behalf of the people of California,” Fuentes, who led the county party for 20 years, said.
“Though Cox’s seat is not yet vacant,” Factor said, “the field of candidates seeking to replace him has already changed several times. None of the candidates who have stepped up can hold a candle to Rogan as far as passion for the free enterprise agenda is concerned. At this pivotal time in U.S. history, the people of the 48th Congressional District, the state of California and the nation need the kind of leadership only Rogan can provide. We strongly urge him to make the race.”
Rogan represented California's 27th Congressional District from 1997-2001, serving with distinction as a member of the House Commerce and Judiciary Committees. In 2001, President Bush nominated Rogan to serve as Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. After a unanimous confirmation vote in the U.S. Senate, Rogan served as Under Secretary from 2001-2004. He now resides in Orange County, California and is a partner with the law firm Venable, LLC.
The Free Enterprise Fund PAC works to elect candidates to federal office who support pro-growth economic policies and the free enterprise system.
