A former staffer for U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz will return to Capitol Hill after a short stint lobbying for a pro-Israel group.
Alex Rogoff has returned to the Parkland Democrat’s congressional staff as Outreach Director, as first noted by Legistorm. He previously worked for Moskowitz, first as a legislative assistant in 2023 shortly after the Congressman’s election. Rogoff rose to be Moskowitz’s Middle East Policy Advisor.
Before working for Moskowitz, Rogoff served with U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, a Boca Raton Democrat who stepped down in 2022 to take over as CEO of the American Jewish Committee. Rogoff worked for Deutch, who directly preceded Moskowitz in Congress, from October 2021 to September 2022.
From August 2024 until this month, Rogoff worked for the Democratic Majority for Israel. That organization is dedicated to electing a pro-Israel Democratic majority in Congress.
Rogoff is a native of Ohio and graduated from Northwestern University with a master’s degree in international and global studies. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Lynn University before that.
Of course, Moskowitz and Deutch before him were among the strongest allies of Israel within Congress, supporting issues like funding the Golden Dome and standing by the nation over the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks in 2023.
On the two-year anniversary of the attacks, Moskowitz signed onto multiple bills recognizing the event.
“The world watched in horror as innocent lives were taken and families were torn apart by Hamas’s unspeakable attack on Israel. We can never forget what happened that day,” Moskowitz said at the time.
“I’m proud to stand with my colleagues in support of these bipartisan bills that will help us remember October 7, honor victims of this attack, and educate our next generation about the scourge of antisemitism. October 7, 2023, was the single deadliest day for the Jewish community since the Holocaust, and we have to make clear that it can never happen again.”
Deutch’s organization today serves as a staunch defender of Israel.
