Byron Giles Rogers (August 1, 1900 – December 31, 1983) was an American lawyer, politician, and World War I veteran from Colorado.

He married his secretary, Helen Kepler, in 1933, and they had two children, Shirley Ann and Byron Jr.[2][3][4] Rogers served as city attorney of Las Animas from 1929 to 1933.

Barnes ran an aggressive campaign, attacking Rogers on many issues, including the war, and actively recruited new, young voters.

Rogers alleged foul that Barnes' staff had registered University of Denver students who were non-residents from other states.

Had Barnes won, Rogers planned to challenge the general election in the House, however, instead many of Rogers' supporters, especially in Northwest Denver, bolted to the Republican candidate, Denver County District Attorney Mike McKevitt, who would defeat Barnes by more than 10,000 votes.
