Fourteen million dollars. That's what he made when he left congress doing the work for the corporations he had just previously been regulating.

Overstated

Why we checked itSpecific figure claimed about opponent's post-congressional earnings from regulated industries — verifiable against financial disclosures and lobbying records.
What we foundRogers's net worth did grow by roughly $12–14 million after leaving Congress through consulting work for technology and cybersecurity companies, but the claim that he made '$14 million' in a discrete payout is not supported by disclosures, and the characterization of the work as serving corporations he 'previously regulated' is only partially accurate — his post-Congress clients were mostly in telecom and cybersecurity, not the broader range of industries he regulated.
