Roger was raised in Red Creek, in Wayne County. He graduated from Red Creek High School and the United States Naval Academy before serving for more than a decade in the Navy, to include combat operations as a naval flight officer.

Roger deployed twice to the Middle East, flying on and off of aircraft carriers. He trained with the Marine Corps in Yuma, Arizona, and flew one of the first airborne missions to combat ISIS in 2014. While in uniform, Roger served as an advocate for survivors of sexual assault, as a defense assistant in the U.S. House of Representatives, and as chief speechwriter for the first African-American woman to hold the rank of four-star in the nation’s history.

While in the service, Roger was a passionate advocate for defense reform and small business. He stood up to an entrenched bureaucracy and fought to get more diverse men and women promoted to major leadership positions in naval aviation. As an early advocate for the Force of the Future initiative, Roger was part of a team of reformers who advocated for better family leave, increased child care service hours, and access to mental health services for military service members.

Since leaving active duty, Roger has worked extensively with entrepreneurs and veteran-owned small businesses. He served as an advocate for veterans and co-host of the 2 Vets Upstate podcast. And he launched Veterans Organize CNY, a community organizing group dedicated to making it easier for veterans to access the political process, and for the political process to access veterans.

Recently, he withdrew his candidacy for New York's 24th Congressional District, where he was attempting to gain the Democratic seat at his face John Katko in November. He is now the Senior Advisor for Taking the Hill. Roger and his family make their home in Syracuse.

Do you have questions for the candidates? Leave your questions in the comment section and i will have answers LIVE TONIGHT at 10pm (EST), when i sit down with Dana Balter, primary candidate for NY Congress-24th District!

Dana Balter knows the importance of making sure everyone in our society has a fair shot at success. From the time she was a child, Dana has been a fierce advocate for her brother, who has cognitive disabilities, to make sure he had the resources and opportunities he needed to thrive. Her commitment to fighting for the underdog drove her to a career in disability services, where she began as a teacher and soon became the director of education for a disability services nonprofit. Through her work, she helped hundreds of clients and their families who grappled with access to proper support. Dana wanted to understand how to dismantle the systemic barriers that stood in these families' way, so she returned to school to study public administration. She went on to teach at the university level, most recently teaching public policy and citizenship at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. In 2018, Dana ran an unprecedented grassroots campaign in NY-24, raising record sums of money and coming closer to defeating John Katko than anyone ever has before.
