It's Mai Vang, the Democrat running for Congress here in California's 7th District. Today I'm asking you for $3 — and here are three reasons why: 1. I'm running to defeat Doris Matsui — a corporate Democrat who outspent us 3 to 1 in the primary. We still took first place, but we have to do it again in November. 2. We're up against the same corporate interests that tried to stop us in the primary. 3. I don't take a dime from corporate PACs. Not one. Our campaign is powered by people like you.

My opponent Doris Matsui has been in office for 21 years — and rather than show up to debate me at community forums, she loaned her own campaign $1.4 million. If you're as sick as I am of wealthy politicians who think they can buy their own seat in Congress, I need your help. Chip in $5, $35, or even $100 today.

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.
