February 12, 2025 — Brewer Partner Sarah Rogers has been nominated for the position of Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs of United States in the U.S. State Department.
This important position leads America's public diplomacy outreach, which includes messaging to counter terrorism, support the achievement of U.S. foreign policy goals and strengthen our nation's global relationships. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Rogers will also deal with critical free-speech and censorship issues at home and abroad.
Reporting on the nomination, the publication Semafor wrote, "A partner at the New York litigation boutique Brewer, Rogers represented the National Rifle Association alongside the ACLU in a winning appeal to the Supreme Court last March. She also represented the NRA against the New York State Attorney General, who was seeking to dissolve the organization, which the NRA beat back on First Amendment grounds."
The firm congratulates Rogers on her potential future role under U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
