  • When Tatiana came to this country, my family and I took her in. For eight years she helped raise our kids and watched me show up every day — as a Marine and as a dad. We sponsored her, and she did everything the right way. People who follow the rules deserve a fair shot. She became family. I’ll fight for yours. Vote Michael McGuire for Congress!

Pages that ran the ads

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.
