9 priorities · 25 quoted statements
Preserving our American way of life and our God-given liberties is paramount.
Lowering the everyday cost of living should be at the top of everyone’s list.
As a U.S. Marine Veteran, Casey understand that protecting and supporting the benefits of our brave men and women who have put on the uniform to protect our great nation is essential.
We are all feeling the pressure at the grocery store and at the gas pump.Tackling the rising cost of eggs, milk, and gas is his top priority. In Congress, Casey will work with leadership to help slash overburdening taxes and regulations that are adding to the affordability crisis.
Mandatory Real ID and immigration status verification to vote to protect our elections, so that only American citizens can vote. Casey will work to prevent foreign actors and adversaries like China and Russia from compromising our election system.
As a business leader and job creator, Casey has invested in people, not stocks.
One of Casey’s priorities is to ban members of Congress from stock trading, and expose and eliminate the culture of corruption within he federal government, including in Congress, that has existed for decades.
We need full transparency in Congress. Casey will help deliver that.
The U.S. must continue to push back against the Communist Chinese aggression in the Western Hemisphere and against our American interests around the world.
We must continue to fund and modernize our great military, and press ahead with President Trump’s America First policy of “peace through strength.”
In addition, we must continue to work in tandem with our great friends and allies around the world to defend our shared values and interests, and protect Democracy.
We must continue to deport criminal illegal aliens and secure our borders, and all Points of Entry into the U.S.The illegal drug trade tied to illegal immigration has killed tens of thousands of Americans and legal residents, regardless of political affiliation.
Merit-based America First immigration policy needs to be kept in place.
Our law enforcement officers need to be protected from predatory targeting by Leftists, activist judges, and prosecutors.
Eliminating illegal immigration and the crime it brings is a bipartisan endeavor.
End Obamacare once and for all, and replace it with a vehicle that works for all Americans.
By cracking down on government waste and fraud, we will be able to preserve Medicaid and Medicare for generations to come.
Protecting the current healthcare policies and initiatives are paramount to better mental and physical healthcare. We must continue to work to lower drug and healthcare insurance costs. All options to do so must be on the table.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 5 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($7,621) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Outside spending $16,950,906 across this race
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
$8,482,974 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Askar’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Askarunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.

Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
All 54 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
1 payment was reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $1,011 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
