Wilfred M. Stark III, who goes by Mike, was arrested Tuesday evening in Las Vegas, after Laxalt campaign manager Kristin Davison accused him of grabbing and yanking her arm and refusing to let go. Las Vegas City Marshals arrested Stark, who was later released.
Stark, who was a reporter for American Bridge 21st Century, was fired Wednesday night in the wake of the incident. A statement from the David Brock-founded organization said that “an incident with a member of Adam Laxalt’s campaign” had taken place, and “one of our employees” had been relieved of his duties “effective immediately.” The statement did not identify Stark or Davison.
Fox News is told that during the arrest, Stark explained to police that this was “his job” and he “does this for a living.”
But the Las Vegas altercation is just the latest in a series of incidents involving Stark, before and during his time with American Bridge. The organization did not respond to repeated requests for information about what the group knew of Stark’s history and conduct.
Republican lawmakers and Capitol Hill staffers said Stark is well-known for his belligerence when dealing with members and their aides.
I’ve known Mike Stark for literally over a decade. This is who he is. American Bridge knows who he is and what he does and they hired him accordingly. He was in Senate office buildings harassing me and my boss during the Kavanaugh hearings. Those are the facts. Open your eyes.

This idea that American Bridge randomly “got stuck with” Mike Stark is willfully ignorant blindness. He has been doing this for years. American Bridge knew exactly who they were hiring and what he does. https://t.co/v7Aimkux66

Mike Stark who harassed our campaign on the 4th of July was arrested last night for assaulting a female campaign manager in Nevada. This is the resistance. Below is a picture of Stark with Team Wexton (pink shirt)…story of his latest arrest: https://t.co/BDhKcwk9BA #VA10 pic.twitter.com/8FEe30bh5l

George Soros’ American Bridge hired Stark in January. One month later, a court found him guilty of disorderly conduct for harassing then-GOP gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie at a Virginia parade.
