GOP Senate Candidate Rogers’ Campaign Employs Two Foreign Agents for Israel; Pro-Israel Democrat Endorses Him

Two contractors who work for GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers’ campaign in Michigan are foreign agents for Israel.

Spokesman Abigail Ronson and communications specialist Jesse Stokes both toil for an outfit called Convergence Media, a foreign agent for Israel, Drop Site News reported yesterday. They also work for something called Havas Media Network, yet another foreign agent for Israel. And Ronson and Stokes are both foreign agents for Israel.

Were Rogers to defeat far-left Muslim Democrat Abdul El-Sayed tomorrow, the pair could land as staffers on Capitol Hill and possibly gain access to classified information.

The revelation is apparently of no concern to one top Wolverine State Democrat. Haley Stevens, the congresswoman who ran against El-Sayed in her party’s primary, endorsed Rogers yesterday.

The two have one thing in common: More than $30 million each from the Israel Lobby.

Drop Site Report

A former staffer for GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Ronson is a “digital communications specialist” who “has been working on the Rogers campaign through major vendor Convergence Media,” Drop Site reported:

The campaign has paid Convergence millions this election cycle, according to [Federal Election Commission] reports. …

In a May [Foreign Agents Registration Act] filing, she also registered as a foreign agent for Israel, doing work for HAVAS Media Network via Brad Parscale’s Clocktower X LLC.

Ronson was spotted Sunday behind Rogers and former Democratic contender for the seat Rep. Haley Stevens at a press conference on Sunday after Stevens’s surprise endorsement of Rogers over Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed.

Yet Ronson isn’t the only shill for Israel working for Rogers. Stokes, who also works for Convergence, “registered as a foreign agent in October 2025 as part of the Havas contract.” 

He apparently writes press releases for the campaign.

Drop Site also explained the link to Parscale, President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager:

Ronson is one of 14 Convergence staffers subcontracted by former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale to push pro-Israel views on social media and even seed LLMs [AI large language models used to generate text] with pro-Israel information, all part of a $46.5 million contract with the Israel government. Convergence is ​a “campaign strategy, digital, public affairs & media firm” led by longtime GOP operative and Parscale ally, Mike Shields. Parscale’s Israel work is paid through Havas Media Network, and has created AI text message campaigns, and launched paid ads on Parscale’s media network Salem Media.

Ronson’s registration says the services will include “strategic communications, planning, and media services in support of Havas’ engagement by the State of Israel to develop and execute a nationwide campaign in the United States to combat anti-semitism.”

Brad Parscale

In July, Time magazine reported that Parscale attempted to undermine the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Trump was attempting to sign with Iran.

As The New American’s Veronika Kyrylenko reported in June, Parscale is a foreign agent — a term some think is a euphemism for “spy” — in Israel’s pay. He seized control of The Charlie Kirk Show after the young conservative was murdered.

Time explained that Parscale is attempting to brainwash young Americans on behalf of his Israeli controllers.

As Kyrylenko reported, “the Israeli influence campaign began in September [2025] when ‘the global ad agency Havas hired Parscale’s firm, Clock Tower X, to conduct a digital campaign on behalf of the State of Israel, according to Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) filings reviewed by TIME.’”

“Parscale’s operation would produce 100 original pieces of content each month, with at least 80% aimed at Gen Z audiences across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and podcasts,” Time continued.

That campaign was aimed at not only combating antisemitism, but also stopping Israel from hemorrhaging support among young Americans.

Watching social media, a White House staffer noticed something. “Online influencers in Trump’s MAGA movement were excoriating” the Iran MOU Time reported:

One shared an Israeli op-ed titled, “You Could Have Been the Greatest President of All—But You Failed.” Several posted the same video of Qatar’s prime minister appearing to snub Vice President J.D. Vance in Israel, arguing it showed regional powers dismissing the Trump Administration’s “naivete.” Others accused Trump of surrendering before achieving his stated objective of eliminating Iran’s nuclear program. Many of the posts appeared almost simultaneously, with similarities in language and tone. 

The official began collecting screenshots, and came to believe it wasn’t a coincidence. Tracing tweets by prominent members of the online right, the official came to believe there was an unlikely figure at the center of all this criticism: Trump’s former presidential campaign manager and digital guru, Brad Parscale.

“How come the movement that calls itself ‘America First’ is filled with so many people paid to serve the interests of a foreign country?” podcaster Glenn Greenwald asked over a link to the Drop Site exposé:

Seems like a bit of a contradiction.

Stevens Endorsement

In Detroit yesterday, far-left Democrat Stevens, who represents Michigan’s 11th Congressional District and lost her primary run against El-Sayed, endorsed Rogers in Detroit.

“We have to stand with country,” Steven said, explaining her plan to vote for Rogers:

We can’t stand with hate. We can’t stand with [far-left podcaster] Hasan Piker.

“Which country?” Greenwald wrote over video of the endorsement.

Curtis Hertel, Michigan Democratic chief, claimed the endorsement “shows that she has abandoned everything she claims to care about,” AP reported.

“Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future,” he wrote on X.

Party status regardless, she and Rogers are of one mind on one subject: Israel.

The AIPAC Tracker reports that pro-Israel political action committees donated $226,419 to Rogers. Independent expenditures were a whopping $31.4 million.

Stevens collected about $1.4 million in donations. Independent expenditures: $34.9 million.
