Rogers produced a series of three films for Hal Roach and this month we highlight Going to Congress, released in June of 1924. Although he considered himself as an "observer" in politics, Rogers served as a honorary mayor of Beverly Hills, California, for a short period, and supported Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presidential candidacy.
