Ritchie Torres takes money from AIPAC, billionaires, and weapons manufacturers. He's chosen them over us. I'm Michael Blake. Son of Jamaican immigrants. Born and raised in the Bronx. I didn't grow up with lobbyists. I grew up with working people. I won't take a dime from AIPAC. I won't take corporate PAC money. Because I'm on the side of the people. Unlike Ritchie Torres. Chip in today.

A Democrat sided with Donald Trump to help ICE target our immigrant communities. That Democrat is Ritchie Torres. He voted yes on the Laken Riley Act — a law that lets immigrants be detained and deported without ever being convicted of a crime. It's unacceptable. I'm Michael Blake, and I'm running for Congress to protect our immigrant neighbors, not deport them. Chip in $5 or more now!

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.
