Cleaning up Washington means holding politicians accountable - no matter their party. I’m working to drain the swamp by: ✅ Supporting a ban on congressional stock trading ✅ Voting to release the Epstein files ✅ Supporting term limits for members of Congress ✅ Voting to censure members who abuse their offices ✅ Fighting for the public release of congressional sexual harassment settlement records Washington needs more accountability and less business as usual. I’ll keep fighting for just that.

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.
