Early voting is open, and I’d be grateful for your vote. Tampa Bay families are getting squeezed from every direction, which is why in Congress I stay focused on the things that actually hit your budget: taking on skyrocketing property insurance, fighting for housing people can afford, and bringing down the cost of living across Pasco and Hillsborough. I’m proud of my record standing up for our Veterans and Seniors, lowering prescription drug costs, and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime.

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.
