Investigate the foreign agent connections inside Mike Rogers' Michigan Senate campaign before this race is decided. Two people working for Rogers, Abby Ronson and Jesse Stokes, are both registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act for work tied to a $46.5 million Israeli government communications contract run through Brad Parscale's firm Clock Tower X. They are also employees of Convergence Media, the consulting firm the Rogers campaign has paid more than $619,000.
This is not a technicality. The Intercept found that 14 of the 18 people on Parscale's Israel team were Convergence employees. That same operation used AI-powered text messages and built content designed to shape chatbot answers. Ronson, a former aide to House Speaker Mike Johnson, has been answering press questions from an official Rogers campaign email address.
The Foreign Agents Registration Act exists precisely to make this kind of influence visible. A full accounting of who directed Ronson and Stokes' work, and whether any resources from the Israeli contract touched the Rogers campaign, is not optional. Michigan voters go to the polls Tuesday, and they have a right to know whether a foreign government's communications infrastructure overlaps with a campaign for a United States Senate seat.
