It's no coincidence that the prospective leaders of the corrupt two parties are suddenly calling out the corruption within their respective ranks. The political elite are learning that Iowans & Americans across the country can see BOTH parties have robbed the Working Class of the America we were promised. They say, if elected, they'll fix it from the inside. No more lip service. It's time for a clean break. Vote Independent on November 3rd. Join our movement at DaveBushaw.com

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.
