Liberals love talking about looking out for the little guy. Unless it hurts their own portfolios, that is. That's why I passed the bill to ban stock trading by Members of Congress and root out corruption. The American people deserve better. I’m fighting every day to protect the American Dream, lower costs, keep our communities safe, and make sure North Carolina has a stronger future. This election matters. Make a plan to vote, we need every freedom-loving American to help keep the House red

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.
