After graduating from
Harvard Law School, Brog served as an executive at
America Online and practiced corporate law both in Israel and the United States. Afterwards he worked in the United States Senate for seven years, where he eventually became the chief of staff to Senator
Arlen Specter and staff director of the
Senate Judiciary Committee. Brog is often considered a protégé of American philanthropists
Miriam and
Sheldon Adelson. In July 2015, Brog was tapped to head a new group called
Maccabee Task Force, an entity formed by the Adelsons and fellow philanthropist
Haim Saban to combat
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions activities on college campuses. Brog was seen as a surprising choice due to his position far from the mainstream within pro-Israel position, according to a Jewish organizational official speaking to
The Forward in 2015. Nonetheless, the official found Brog's past success in organizational development explanatory regarding his appointment. As part of that foundation's work, Hazony and Brog organized the
National Conservatism Conference. They hoped to develop the frame the development and growth of conservatism through the conference.
Christians United For Israel leadership Brog helped found
Christians United For Israel (CUFI), an American pro-Israel Christian organization. Brog said in 2015 that his first task upon joining CUFI was to tap into existing bases of
Christian Zionist support. Around 2015, the organization was exploring the idea of expanded political engagement, whether through Washington office focused on lobbying or through the development of a
political action committee. According to Sander Gerber, a major player in the passage of the
Taylor Force Act, a bill passed in 2018 that halted aid to the
Palestinian Authority until it stops paying the families of deceased terrorists, Brog played a role in the bill's passage. Brog brought CUFI into the lobbying effort to pass the bill, bringing evangelical groups on board long before Jewish groups entered the arena, according to Gerber. Brog announced his entry into the race in February and raised $284,000 in the first six weeks, including a $50k loan to himself. By June, Brog had spent $187k. His campaign spent $59k on mail advertisements and $88.5k on "media placements". This left his campaign with $174k in remaining cash at that point. By that point in the campaign, Brog had received endorsements from Genie Energy PAC, the Hindu American PAC, and former U.S. Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo. Brog described "securing our Southern border and finishing Trump's border wall" as among his top priorities. ==Education and early life==
