State Representative Julie M. Rogers represents the 41st House District, which includes portions of the city of Kalamazoo, city of Portage, and Kalamazoo and Comstock townships. She has been a practicing physical therapist for over 25 years. She also served on the Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners for eight years, with part of that time as board chair. Rogers co-chairs the Biosciences Legislative Caucus and is a co-chair of the Arts and Culture Legislative Caucus. Additionally, she has been appointed as an Assistant Democratic Caucus co-chair this term and was appointed as one of 19 nationwide 2025 Maternal Health Fellows by the National Council of State Legislatures. Rogers grew up in Kalamazoo County and is a proud graduate of public schools. Her 25-year career as a physical therapist has led her to become a champion of public health, serving on the National Association of Counties Health Steering Committee for seven years. Rogers’ experience as a physical therapist inspired her to advocate for auto no-fault reform, after seeing the devastating effects that forced catastrophic car accident survivors to lose their long-term care. She has been recognized for her work with a nomination to the Class of 2019 Women in Government, a national nonpartisan leadership program for women elected officials of all levels of government.
