After incumbent mayor Neal Fosseen announced his resignation in 1967, Rodgers declared his candidacy for the position in July of that year.〔 He was elected on November 7, 1967, defeating Ralph Rosenberry, another prominent Spokane citizen, in an election that was described by a local newspaper as having an "unexpected low vote".〔(Rodgers Elected Mayor )〕 He was re-elected to another term in 1973 and served as mayor until retiring in 1978.
