Shorter sentences for convicted criminals? Eliminating cash bail? That’s Progressive Shannon Taylor’s dangerous agenda. Shannon Taylor supports putting monsters back on our streets, endangering our families. Child murderers. Cop killers. The worst of the worst. Shannon Taylor wants a lighter sentence for them. Shannon Taylor is just too dangerous for Virginia families.

Tax Man Sean McCann. He voted to raise Michigan’s gas tax and give himself a 22% raise. Higher taxes for you. Pay raises for him. That’s Tax Man Sean McCann.

Bob Brooks has a history of burning those closest to him. He borrowed “big money” from his wife’s family, then divorced her, cheating them out of $160,000. If he’s ripping off his own family. Imagine what he’ll do to yours in Congress. If Bob Brooks gets elected, we’ll all get burned.

Cait Conley supported raising taxes on working families making under $75,000. Just like AOC. Conley even supports radical government-backed healthcare. Just like Mamdani.

Joe Mitchell says that Liberal Lindsay James “…made her home LA and San Francisco and Massachusetts before she conveniently moved to Iowa.” And brought their values with her. Higher taxes on Social Security. Weaker sentences for criminals. And Lindsay James missed half her votes in the State Senate. Joe Mitchell continues, “And when she was there, which was probably worse, she was voting to give illegal immigrants state-funded Medicaid, food stamps, housing assistance, sex changes for kids…”

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.
