I’m honored to receive the endorsement of UNITE HERE Local 25, an incredibly diverse group of folks who make our communities stronger every day. Unions built the American middle class and continue to play an integral part in strengthening our economy and our democracy. The services we have come to rely on daily would simply not exist without them, and it is critical we continue fighting for them in Washington.

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.
