  • Enterprise has a habit of giving us moments worth sharing. A few weeks ago, one of our clips from Enterprise took off. Today, Debs Boyd, Senator Katie Britt’s mother, asked me a particularly interesting question. I think you will enjoy my response. Watch it, share it, and tell me what you think. The full event is posted in the comments, along with a screenshot outlining how the program was structured.

  • I need your help tonight. Go through the comments on this post. I’ve put videos, graphics, and information there that you can share. Find the ones that make you think of someone specific, then send them directly. Your friends. Your family. Your coworkers. Your church members. Your lawn care provider. The guy who changed your oil six months ago and still texts you coupons. Whoever you know. This election is tomorrow, and far too many people still do not realize how important it is. Share thi

  • Government waste, fraud, and abuse will never be stopped by career politicians who only know how to spend other people’s money. I am the only candidate in this race with real Executive Branch experience cutting costs, reducing bureaucracy, improving performance, and protecting the essential programs Americans rely on. This is not a campaign talking point. I have already done the work. I know where government fails. I know why it fails. And I know how to fix it. On August 11th, send someone t

  • Not sure what my favorite part of this video is, maybe Mr. Horn's reaction on the far left. When I come with the questions, I will always have the receipts.

  • Here’s a metric I think is worth looking at. My opponent has spent more than $1 million trying to win this primary. PACs and Super PACs have poured another $1 million-plus into trying to get him elected. I have spent less than $50,000. I also don’t have special interests spending millions of dollars to prop me up or make sure their candidate gets elected. And yet, here we are. His Facebook page was created in June 2012, when he was already serving in the Alabama Legislature. Mine was create

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.
