During the 1950s under the presidency of [[Moderate Republican]] [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]], Rogers' conservatism began to wane significantly, evident in supporting public housing programs as well as the [[Tennessee Valley Authority]], both of which she previously opposed.<ref name=politiciansvoteropinion/> However, in her last months in Congress, she voted with the conservative side 89% of the time.
