Pete Hegseth is an incompetent fool and the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in modern history. This misogynist cares more about personal vendettas than doing what is right for our nation’s military. He has fired every female four-star general and tried to stop the promotion of two Black female generals. It is absolutely infuriating to watch him hide his incompetence behind the valor of our troops while endangering our global standing. I am laser-focused on advocating for our servicememb

I refuse to see the democracy my buddies and I fought so hard to defend be dismantled. I refuse to let the health care and benefits our Veterans rightfully earned be gutted. I refuse to let Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth drag us into wars with no thought for our servicemembers. My mission in Congress is not that different from what it was when I served in uniform: to defend the Constitution, to protect this democracy, to safeguard our freedoms and to keep our nation as strong as it should b

I will always be a Soldier, and I’m damn proud of that. I am in my position because, like many of you, I was sick and tired of hearing politicians promise to look out for Veterans and their families on the campaign trail—and then abandoning them when they take office. You deserve better. You’ve earned better. My mission in Congress is not that different from what it was when I served in uniform: to defend the Constitution, to protect this democracy, to safeguard freedoms and to keep our nation

Pete Hegseth is hiding his incompetence behind the valor of our troops while this unconstitutional and unjustified war is burning billions of taxpayer dollars, forcing prices up at home, and has already cost at least 13 servicemembers their lives. Hegseth is the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in modern history and he needs to go. I will never stop holding this Administration accountable as they endanger our troops and global standing. Please contribute to my campaign to help me continue

See this little girl? Growing up, this little girl learned that through hard work and perseverance, she could break barriers and accomplish anything she set her mind to. So after enlisting in the military, she trained to become a combat pilot and served as one of the first handful of Army women to fly combat missions in Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2004, her Blackhawk helicopter was shot down over Iraq, costing her both legs and partial use of her right arm. She spent long, painful months at Wa

Pete Hegseth has no clue what makes our military strong. He just announced testosterone screenings in a half-baked attempt to distract and cover up that he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in our nation's history. Let me be clear: I support expanding health care for our brave servicemembers. But why stop at testosterone? Let’s add hormone screenings for ALL servicemembers to help identify fertility issues early. And make treatments like IVF available for both men and women in unif

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.
