30 YEARS OF PUTTING GLOBAL ELITES FIRST. While CA-18 families get crushed by inflation, career politician Zoe Lofgren is rubber-stamping blank checks for overseas spending (H.R. 8034, 8035, 8036). Her priorities are stuck in the 1990s. For three decades, her votes have served the Washington establishment, not local families. The choice is simple: OUR PRO-LOCAL MARINE VS. THEIR GLOBAL MACHINE.

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.
