Max Miller got his congressional seat through Trump's inner circle. Brian Poindexter earned his through two decades of union ironwork. OH-7 deserves a congressman who's actually lived the life of the people he represents, not one who was handed the job by the most powerful political machine in the country. Chip in $7 today and help us flip this seat.

Max Miller voted against the PRO Act, earned a 14% lifetime score from the AFL-CIO, and has missed more than twice as many votes as the average congressman. Brian Poindexter has spent nearly 20 years as a union ironworker, fought for workers as a union organizer, and earned the endorsement of labor unions across the country because he's been in the fight his entire life. The choice in OH-7 couldn't be clearer. Chip in today and help us flip this seat.

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.
