I’ve fought fires for 20 years, and I’ve never seen a dumpster fire like the one in Washington. Politicians are trading stocks, taking orders from big corporations, and leaving working people like us behind.

Together, we’ll build something better from the ashes.

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
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.
