  • Illinois' 8th District has voted for Republicans before. The GOP sees an open seat and thinks that can happen again. We cannot let them add just another "Yes" vote for Trump's authoritarian policies. Election Day is almost here, so we need your help to reach voters now. Chip in!

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.
