STOP SCROLLING A candidate for Columbia County Chairman just hand-wrote what most people in this county have been saying behind closed doors. No glossy mailer. No political theater. Just Gary telling you exactly how he feels. This message comes straight from the heart. We hope every voter in Columbia County reads it. They told us to stay quiet.

This election is about more than one candidate. It’s about whether Columbia County still belongs to its citizens. Not political insiders. Not special interests. Not closed-door conversations.

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.
