He founded Project LEAP, an organization designed to avoid voter fraud, as well as being active in many Catholic, political, and civic Chicago organizations. Among his credits is the founding of the Chicago Daily Observer. U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk from Illinois remembered Roeser as “Mr. Conservative Republican in Illinois.”
