It’s pretty safe to say I spend more time at Riley’s office than Riley does. Shout out to the Thursday regulars! Remember, next Tuesday’s primary isn’t just about which candidate you agree with more. It’s about choosing the candidate who can take the fight to Riley Moore — and WIN.

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.
