Jim McGovern here — I’m tired of hearing that for Democrats to win in November, we have to narrow our vision and water down our message. When Americans everywhere want us to fight back, we need to put everything on the line and fight back harder. I officially launched my bid for reelection because I can't stand by watching Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress take food, housing support, and healthcare from families across Massachusetts. This is a grassroots-funded, zero-corporate PAC mo

We have just a few weeks left to take back Congress from Trump’s rubber-stamping yes-men. Republicans in the House have attacked voting rights, gutted our healthcare, cut SNAP and housing programs, and rewarded Trump’s billionaire friends while working families fall further and further behind. I’m fighting back — but flipping the House takes organizers, volunteers, ads, and boots on the ground in every district Republicans think they have the right to. Pitch in and help our movement build a

Donald Trump is the president of the most powerful nation in the world. If he wanted to make sure you could easily afford groceries, gas, and basic essentials, he could make it happen. But he hasn't. He's made it clear that he only cares about the people who shamelessly follow him. If we leave it up to Donald Trump, the elites will continue to consolidate power, push people to the side, and lie to our faces that this is the best America has ever been. That's what a wannabe king does with po

Until the Republicans in charge right now can see beyond their own BS, sleazy super PACs and Wall Street billionaires will keep spending billions to buy puppet candidates who work for THEM, not us.

We have the chance to change the direction of our country. But first, imagine what it would look like if we take back the House 💭 In 2027, we could have a Congress that: ⚖️ checks power instead of rubber-stamping it 🔍 provides real oversight and accountability 📣 answers voters with action 📊 builds an economy for working people 🩺 prioritizes health care for all 🛡️ protects the programs we rely on None of this is guaranteed. But it’s within reach. Will you chip in and help us mobilize vot

My promise to you is that nobody can buy my vote. The people living and working in my district are my boss, and I listen to them. And it's for them — for every American — a promise to make sure our economy is fair, and our priorities as a nation reflect our values. Americans deserve a government that supports them – and makes groceries, gas, and housing affordable and accessible. Right now, we have an administration that indulges petty grievances, enriches the Trump family, fuels inflation,

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.
