The costliest ads

The highest-spend ad of each distinct text, as it ran.

  • The U.P. deserves leaders who will fight for it. I'm proud to have the endorsement of Trump-endorsed Congressman Jack Bergman. I'll work every day to cut taxes, protect our jobs, and keep the U.P. the greatest place to live, work, and raise a family.

  • I was born and raised in the U.P. My opponent is from Chicago. For 6 years as your U.P. State Representative I NEVER raised taxes. Pro-Tax Prestin voted to increase our taxes 5 times in just 3 years. Don’t let big-government Chicago politics win in the U.P. Vote Proven Conservative and lifelong Yooper Beau LaFave on or before August 4th

  • I think taxpayers deserve a break. Not a single dime of your hard-earned money should be spent on data centers.

  • While families are struggling with higher costs, Dave Prestin voted to raise taxes four times. As your State Representative, I never voted to raise your taxes. As your State Senator, I won’t either. On August 4th, the choice is simple: the candidate who raised your taxes, or the fighter from Iron Mountain who never has and never will. Vote Beau LaFave for State Senate. 🇺🇸

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
