I'm running to flip Tennessee's 5th District from red to blue because our current congressman, Andy Ogles, is more interested in making headlines and throwing tantrums on social media than he is in actually legislating. If you're ready for better representation, better results, and a congressman who actually shows up for you, please chip in $5 today to 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.
