Public servants are the first line of defense against authoritarianism. That’s why I’m running for Virginia’s 8th Congressional District to reinstate fired Feds and reform Washington. I worked at the State Department for 12 years before Trump fired me last year. Vote for me on August 4th.

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.
