We must secure the Southern Border and stop the flow of illegal drugs from flooding into our country. This isn’t just a talking point for me, it’s personal. My younger brother died of a fentanyl overdose, and I am committed to turn that loss into a solution so that no family ever has to experience the pain that my family did.

North Carolinians have all seen how a community can be decimated by the free-trade agenda pushed by previous Presidents, Democrat and Republican alike. That’s why I support President Trump’s America First Agenda that protects and promotes American jobs.

I believe that the right to self-defense is a God-given, constitutional right of every law-abiding American. As an avid hunter and gun enthusiast, I will fight government overreach that aims to disrupt North Carolinians’ 2nd Amendment rights.

Every life, born or unborn, is a precious gift from God. I will vote 100% pro-life and will champion pro-life causes and legislation in Congress. The Democrats try every chance they get to use taxpayer resources to pay for and promote abortion. They want no limits on abortion, even up to the 9th month. I will protect life and also champion pro-family policies that will ease the burden of child-bearing for women and families.

We must encourage innovation here in the United States. Unfortunately, the lack of regulatory clarity when it comes to digital assets risks forcing this new and promising technology overseas. I believe the United States should be a leader in creating a forward-looking, pro-innovation crypto policy. This means avoiding burdensome government regulation and opposing efforts to create central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

Free, fair, and secure elections are essential to a functioning country. I will oppose all attempts to federalize elections. Not only is that unconstitutional, but politicians in DC have already screwed up enough. I don’t trust them to cut spending and secure the border, let alone administer our elections fairly. The vast majority of Americans believe you should show an ID to vote. States should only get federal grants if they require a voter ID to vote. We should also tighten restrictions on absentee voting, so that all votes are received by election day & signature verification is used to ensure voter fraud doesn’t occur.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 19 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.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 37 contributions · 11% of ranked | $58,381 |
| Written instead of an employer · 30 contributions · 10% of ranked | $56,521 |
| 4 contributions · 2.7% of ranked | $14,286 |

A further $31,535 came from donors whose answer names no employer (N/A, blank), so it is not ranked. Ranked from the largest 200 of 201 employer spellings filed; each share is of the money in those. 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 ($18,154) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
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.
The campaign also refunded $17,014 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.
Total itemized disbursements $1,122,400
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 1,669 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
20 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $72,569 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.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| 61 payments · 18% of all spending | $238,414 |
| 16 payments · 7.7% of all spending | $100,304 |
| 15 payments · 6.5% of all spending | $85,000 |
| 1 payment · 6.5% of all spending | $85,000 |
| 9 payments · 4.1% of all spending | $53,901 |
| 7 payments · 3.1% of all spending | $41,202 |
| 25 payments · 2.8% of all spending | $36,586 |
| 4 payments · 2.5% of all spending | $33,000 |
The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
| Occupation as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an occupation · 35 contributions · 10% of ranked | $54,381 |
| 30 contributions · 7.2% of ranked | $39,102 |
