The costliest ads
The highest-spend ad of each distinct text, as it ran.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation says police should be disbanded. My opponent's own allies listed him as the founder of its San Diego chapter, then quietly edited it off their website. El Cajon voters deserve to know if he still stands by that.

Gas, groceries, and now fire insurance. Everything costs more, and that's why I'm fighting Sacramento to repeal the gas tax and holding the line on city spending. My opponent wants to bring socialism to El Cajon, which means more taxes and higher costs for families already stretched thin.

Sacramento told El Cajon to look the other way, but Mayor Bill Wells took the state to court, cut fentanyl deaths by 36 percent, and raised $100,000 to get people off the streets. He did it while protecting taxpayers and bringing new businesses to town. Re-elect Mayor Bill Wells.

El Cajon is where we live, work and raise our families, and I've been proud to serve this city since 2008. Everything I do at City Hall comes back to making this a place we're all proud to call home.

I love this city. I know the people who own the shops on Main Street, the officers who patrol our neighborhoods, the families who chose to raise their kids here. None of them want an El Cajon where businesses get taken, police get replaced, and speech gets policed. That is what's on the ballot this year, and it's too extreme for us.

For years, I've worked in emergency psychiatric care. I've sat with people in crisis and people fighting addiction, often on the worst night of their lives. These are people a lot of us look away from. I've never been able to do that. I don't do it for a headline. I do it because every one of them is somebody's son, daughter, mom, or dad. And every one of them is worth saving. That's the same heart I try to bring to El Cajon every day.

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.
