Jim Rogers, known to many Midwest City residents for campaigning on the side of the road, is again running for office. He’s campaigned for several national offices, including senator and president, and this time he faces state Sen. Constance Johnson for the Democratic nomination in a U.S. Senate race. The chairman of OU’s political science department says the literature calls candidates like Rogers “hopeless amateurs” since they don’t have a lot of political experience, but they serve a valuable purpose in that they make sure no one in their district wins an election without facing an opponent. Rogers smiles when asked about being labeled a perennial candidate, someone who never wins. “It doesn’t make any difference how many times you lose. The thing that counts is the time you win,” Rogers said. “How’s that for an answer?”
