The costliest ads

The highest-spend ad of each distinct text, as it ran.

  • Higher prices are everywhere, and my family feels it too. That is why I helped cut North Carolina’s income tax rate in half and make the first $25,000 tax-free. Every dollar we put back into your hands makes a difference for your family. That is my mission, and I will keep fighting to help New Hanover County families keep more of what they earn.

  • Training tomorrow’s nurses, right here at home. I helped secure $30 million to improve Cape Fear Community College’s nursing and health care training facilities. Part of nearly $1 billion secured for New Hanover County and our region. Real investments. Everyday impact.

  • Service is personal to me. It’s a value I learned from my father, one Heidi and I have tried to pass on to our children, and the reason I serve. Showing up. Listening. Helping when someone needs you. That’s what giving back means to our family, and it’s the commitment I bring to serving New Hanover County.

  • Expanding healthcare coverage was an important step, but the work is not finished. I will keep fighting to lower the cost of coverage and care for families across North Carolina.

  • Our fire fighters and paramedics answer the call when we need them most. They deserve leaders who stand with them. I’m honored to be endorsed by the Professional Fire Fighters and Paramedics of North Carolina (PFFPNC). I’ll keep working to ensure our first responders have the resources and support they need to protect our community and come home safely. Thank you, PFFPNC, for your trust and support. I’m proud to stand with those who protect us.

  • When insurance denied the medicine her daughter needed, Michael Lee went to work. He kept fighting, pushing, and calling until she got that medicine. Hear one mother’s story about a leader who cared and made a difference.

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.
