EXCITING NEWS: I’m launching my Main St. over Wall St. Tour. For too long, politicians have talked about helping families and small businesses without ever listening to their real challenges. That’s about to change. Over the next five months, I’ll be traveling across the 17th District, sitting down with business owners and having honest conversations. Episode 1 drops tomorrow. Know a local business I should visit? Reach out: [email protected]

My opponent Eric Sorensen hasn’t stood on a debate stage in 1,341 days, and when he was finally asked why, he dodged the question. I’m not afraid of tough questions or tough crowds. I’ll ask you, the voter: Are you ready to see Eric Sorensen and I debate? Comment below #vancilforcongress

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.
