The costliest ads

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

  • Families are working too hard and costs are too high. Ben Allen refuses donations from the insurance industry because he'll hold them accountable to pay what they owe and treat people fairly. And he won't gamble on a government takeover that drives costs even higher. He's focused on fixing the crisis, not making it worse. Vote Ben Allen for Insurance Commissioner by November 3.

  • Jane Kim as Insurance Commissioner spells disaster. Her plan is smoke and mirrors, radical, and it would bankrupt the state. Jane Kim will drive up costs for all of us. Vote NO on Jane Kim.

  • Jane Kim’s government insurance takeover = billions in new costs for California and thousands more for every household. We need an insurance commissioner focused on lowering costs, not totally unmoored experiments.

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.
