Voters will not be tricked, and they cannot be bought. Neither can I. I work for the people: not outside influencers, special interests, or corporations looking to buy access and influence. Our communities deserve leaders who answer to the residents they serve, not to wealthy donors behind closed doors. We cannot afford leadership that is tied to the pockets of powerful corporations while everyday families struggle to make ends meet. I'm fighting for you, and that's who I'll always be accoun

Too many families are one medical emergency away from financial disaster. We don’t have to accept a system that puts insurance companies and drug corporations ahead of people’s lives. I’m running for Congress because Maryland deserves a representative who will actually fight for Medicare for All, not just talk about it when it’s politically convenient.

I grew up walking the halls of the DC Council, fighting for Liberian refugees. I know what it’s like to live penny to penny, and experienced the life-changing power of community support programs. That's why I'm not just running for a seat—I'm running to protect the legacy of hard work and grit that my father passed down to me. We need an advocate who knows our struggles and will fight for our communities. Vote Wala Blegay for Congress.

I’m fighting to stop massive data centers from threatening our communities, driving up energy costs, and putting corporate profits ahead of people.

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.
