Glenn Moss Rogers (born January 24, 1956)[1] is an American veterinarian, rancher and politician. He has represented the 60th District in the Texas House of Representatives since 2021. A member of the Republican Party, Rogers also owns and operates the Holt River Ranch near Graford, Texas.
Early life, education, and career
Rogers graduated from
College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences in 1980. After college he opened up a rural mixed veterinary practice in Graham and Graford, Texas. During this time, Rogers served as president of the Palo Pinto County Farm Bureau and as a school board member for Graham Independent School District.[2] In the 1990s Rogers attended Kansas State University and earned a MS in Beef Production Medicine.[3] He became an associate professor at North Carolina State University until 2000, when he returned to the ranch.[3]
Rogers was awarded Conservation Rancher of the Year Award for the State of Texas in 2017.[4]
Holt River Ranch
The ranch has been in the Rogers family since 1906, which is located near Graham, alongside the
heifer annually.[2]
Election
Rogers announced in September 2019 to run for the
87th legislature. Lang then reversed his statements two days later, which did not stop Rogers from running.[7] Rogers defeated Jon Francis in the 2020 Republican Primary Runoff with 51% of the vote in July 2020. He ran unopposed in the November 2020 election.[8] Governor Greg Abbott had endorsed Rogers prior to the July runoff election.[9] Rogers also received endorsements from former governor Rick Perry and U.S. Congressman Mike Conaway as well.[10][11]
