The costliest ads

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

You should be able to get to the doctor, the store, or practice, and back up the hill with your groceries, without paying $25 for a rideshare. A ride around La Mesa should cost $2.50. Our streets should be kept up, and you should be able to park when you get where you're going, especially at home. I'd be honored to earn your vote.

My husband and I raised our three children here, and after more than thirty years I can tell you everything you need is already in La Mesa, two hospitals, the Village, the parks, the trolley. You asked for a new library back in 2008. I intend to see it built. I'd be honored to earn your vote.

We raised our three children here, and I've spent more than thirty years in this city. On the council, I worked to make sure your officers can focus on the job they were trained to do, and that people in crisis get the right help. As your Mayor, public safety comes first. I'd be honored to earn your vote.

Your officers were losing a lot of time on homeless calls, and that slowed them down when somebody had a real emergency. So we put trained counselors on those calls instead. Now officers can do their job, and counselors stay with each person until they're standing on their own two feet. We call it HOME. It works, and I'm going to stay on it. I'd be honored to earn your vote.

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.
