Congress, do your job. Most folks are sick of the partisan circus that spends all day arguing and zero days solving real problems for working families. I’m running as an Independent because Washington doesn’t need another party loyalist. It needs someone ready to clock in and do the work. What’s the single biggest issue you want Congress to actually tackle?

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.
