My extremist Republican opponent, Vic Mellor, just wrote himself a check for 3 million dollars. He’s betting he can buy this seat outright. Can you chip in a few dollars before my FEC deadline on September 30th to help our people-powered campaign fight back?

Vic Mellor joined a violent mob that attacked the Capitol to try to overturn the 2020 election. He does not deserve to represent Rhode Island 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.
