Daniel L. Rogers is a cattleman, businessman, and investor in Amarillo, Texas. Today, he is building one of the nation’s most ambitious county-level civic networks, designed to inform voters, strengthen local participation, and rebuild self-government from the courthouse up.

Dan started with nothing and built his business the old way — deal by deal, on a handshake and his word. Four decades in Texas real estate, ranching, and finance have made him the man banks call when the work gets complicated: he has managed large, complex note portfolios on their behalf and performed appraisals for them. And for decades, he has stood on the other side of the table for ordinary Texans, representing thousands of people and properties before appraisal districts across the state and winning valuation reductions.

He has a record of taking on fights that others called unwinnable. When CREZ transmission lines — backed by the most powerful politicians in Austin — threatened to destroy the Palo Duro Canyon, Dan fought the routing and won. When the federal Corporate Transparency Act threatened to bury millions of American small businesses, he helped fight that too — and they won.

The day after the 2020 election, he co-founded Patriots for Paper to campaign for hand-marked, self-authenticated, tangible ballots that can be verified. He currently serves as Chairman of the Potter County Republican Party and Region 1 Director of the Texas Republican County Chairmen’s Association.

Dan believes the county is the most important political subdivision in America: it is where elections are run, property is taxed, and justice begins. Acting on that conviction, he has built a family of platforms serving every county in the United States.
