Mientras el congresista Rob Bresnahan votó a favor de una ley de impuestos que le ahorrará a ÉL millones de dólares, las familias de Pensilvania apenas están llegando a fin de mes – las cuentas se acumulan y el costo de vida sigue subiendo. No deberíamos tener que elegir entre pagar las cuentas y construir un mejor futuro para nuestra familia. Paige Cognetti lo entiende.

Paige Cognetti here — National Republicans are spending millions of dollars to keep this seat in their hands. This is one of the most competitive House districts in the country, and we need to fight back. My GOP opponent, Rob Bresnahan has been profiting off his votes in Congress through his stock trading. He does not represent Pennsylvania. Please donate $25 to help us flip this seat, take back the House, and make sure that government actually works for the people it serves.

Democrats only need to flip THREE seats to take back the House, and national experts are calling PA-08 a toss-up. That means every dollar we raise puts us a step closer to a better future for our country and for NEPA. Please donate whatever you can today to help us take back the House and restore government accountability and transparency to Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Rob Bresnahan voted for $83 billion dollars in giveaways for data centers and to make it impossible for towns in Pennsylvania to stop them from being built. Rob Bresnahan is voting for data centers. Not the people he’s supposed to represent.

Every day we see the big corporations take advantage of the little guy, and Congress continues to trade stocks and make that bread for themselves – squeezing out the middle-class and leaving us behind. As Mayor, I rooted out waste and corruption, and that’s exactly what I’ll do in Congress.

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.
