2 working on US Senate candidate’s campaign registered as foreign agents for Israel: Report

Two people working on Republican Mike Rogers’ US Senate campaign in Michigan are registered foreign agents for Israel, according to a media report published Sunday, Anadolu reports.

Campaign spokesperson Abigail Ronson and communications specialist Jesse Stokes have been involved in Israeli government communications work since May 2026 and October 2025, respectively, while also working on Rogers’ campaign through major contractor Convergence Media, Drop Site News reported.

Ronson registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) in May for work involving Havas Media Network through Clocktower X LLC, a company associated with former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale.

Her registration describes the services as “strategic communications, planning, and media services” for an Israeli government initiative in the US aimed at combating antisemitism.

Stokes registered in October 2025 under the same Havas contract and has reportedly authored several Rogers campaign press releases.

According to Drop Site News, Ronson is among 14 Convergence Media employees subcontracted for a $46.5 million Israeli government communications project involving social media campaigns and artificial intelligence.

Federal Election Commission records show that Rogers’ campaign has paid Convergence Media millions of dollars during the election cycle.

The campaign previously denied that Ronson was a staff member, although she has reportedly communicated with journalists using an official campaign email address.

Neither Ronson nor Stokes immediately responded to requests for comment from Drop Site News.

Another campaign spokesperson also did not respond to the outlet’s questions about whether the campaign was aware of the arrangements.
