As a blue collar guy, pastor and a veteran there shouldn’t be a divide between Washington and the American people But for many families, it feels like there is. When policies are written without understanding what it’s like to run a small business, work a trade, serve in uniform, farm your own land or struggle to afford groceries, everyday Americans are the ones who pay the price. Government should never lose sight of the people it serves. @highlight @Cc - Culpeper County Republican Committe

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.
