7 priorities · 4 parts · 22 quoted statements
Disciplined spending, American energy, competitive markets, and relief from needless regulation.
Families cannot budget their way around a federal government that keeps spending, borrowing, and regulating without discipline.
Gregg will fight for responsible budgets, lower barriers to American energy production, competitive markets, and relief from needless federal rules that raise the cost of housing, food, transportation, and doing business.
Require honest cost estimates and a clear funding plan before Congress votes.
Expand reliable American energy to lower costs and strengthen national security.
Help small businesses compete, hire, and grow without Washington standing in the way.
A nation has both the right and the responsibility to know who is entering and to enforce its laws fairly.
Gregg supports legal immigration, a secure border, and policies that put the safety of New Jersey neighborhoods ahead of political fashion. He will stand with law enforcement and first responders while demanding performance, transparency, and equal justice.
Restore operational control at the border and enforce existing immigration law.
Support police, firefighters, emergency personnel, and the communities they serve.
Reject policies that transfer the cost of federal failure to local taxpayers.
Public service is a duty, and taxpayers deserve receipts.
Before Congress approves another program or appropriation, lawmakers should explain what it costs, how it will be paid for, who is responsible, and how the public will know whether it worked. Gregg will press for measurable goals, regular audits, and consequences when government fails.
Publish costs, funding sources, and expected results in plain language.
Audit programs for waste, duplication, and failure before expanding them.
Fight for New Jersey's fair share instead of accepting more unfunded mandates.
Parents are partners—not obstacles—in their children's education.
Gregg supports strong academics, safe schools, honest civics, local accountability, and meaningful opportunity for every child. Federal policy should empower families and teachers, not impose one-size-fits-all mandates from Washington.
Protect parents' right to know and participate in consequential school decisions.
Prioritize literacy, mathematics, science, civics, and career preparation.
Keep education decisions close to students, families, and communities.
America is safer when it is clear, credible, and loyal to democratic allies.
Gregg supports Israel's right to defend its people and believes the United States must confront terrorism, hostage-taking, and antisemitism without equivocation. Strength and clarity deter aggression; mixed signals invite it.
Maintain a strong security partnership with Israel.
Oppose terrorist organizations and the networks that finance and enable them.
Call out antisemitism wherever it appears, including in public institutions.
Healthcare decisions belong with patients, families, and medical professionals—not distant bureaucracies.
Gregg will work to make costs understandable before care is delivered, expand meaningful choices, and encourage competition that rewards quality. Reform should strengthen the doctor-patient relationship instead of burying it in paperwork.
Demand real price transparency so patients can compare cost and quality.
Expand choice and competition while reducing administrative burdens.
Keep medical decisions centered on patients and their trusted providers.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 9 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.

Gifts of $200 or less ($19,170) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

Outside spending $2,849,309 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.
$2,849,309 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Mele’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Meleunder “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 138 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
5 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $51,096 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.
