I’m Brad Knott. Born and raised in North Carolina. Raising my family here. My opponent, Paul Barringer, can’t say the same. Paul called Chevy Chase, Maryland, home for almost 20 years. That’s 300 MILES from the people he wants to represent. On November 3, I’m asking for your vote so I can keep fighting for the place WE call home. 🇺🇸🗳️

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.
