Edwina Clifton Rogers (born May 27, 1964) has served in public policy positions in the US Senate, White House, private, and international sectors for over twenty years.

[10] In 1989, she married Ed Rogers, a protege of political strategist Lee Atwater who served in two administrations and founded a lobbying firm with former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour.

[12] After graduation from law school,[8] Rogers worked on International Trade matters for President George H. W. Bush at the Department of Commerce from 1989 to 1991.

[10][13] She served as the founding executive director of the Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative from 2006-2011, a Washington DC trade association, responsible for the national Patient Centered Medical Home movement and implementing the model around the US.

Rogers’ selection came on the heels of the March 2012 Reason Rally, a Secular Coalition for America sponsored event that drew tens of thousands of atheists, agnostics, humanists and other non-theistic Americans to Washington, D.C.[2] The Secular Coalition for America emphasizes separation of church and state, and champions issues with which the Republican Party typically comes into conflict.

[9] Rogers made a guest appearance on The Real Housewives of D.C. in 2010[17] and in 2008 she demonstrated for another television crew her signature gift-giving style, which involved cutting up sheets of dollar bills and using them as wrapping paper.

[18] She says she started doing this years ago, as a "cheap" and "unique" way of wrapping inexpensive gifts while still complying with ethics rules governing gift-giving in Washington.
