In Congress, Robert will build stronger partnerships with local and regional elected officials and grassroots organizations across our city to confront Trump’s attacks on D.C., protect Washingtonians from ICE and unaccountable federal agents, safeguard our local budget, and defend our right to govern ourselves. Together, we will fight Trump and his allies in Congress as they attempt to use D.C. as a testing ground for their radical right-wing agenda.

The people who make D.C. work should be able to afford to call it home. Robert will leverage every tool available to him in Congress to fight for affordable housing, accessible healthcare, excellent schools, reliable childcare, lower household costs, and good-paying jobs. Robert’s goal is a city where hard work is rewarded, families can put down roots, and every Washingtonian has a real opportunity to thrive.

The fight for D.C. statehood is a fight for the future of American democracy. Robert will mobilize Washingtonians, help elect a Congress prepared to stop Trump’s attacks, and build the national coalition required to secure full representation, self-government, and statehood. D.C. is not asking America to save us. Give us the voice, freedom, and power we have earned, and Washingtonians will help lead America forward.

Robert believes every D.C. resident deserves the chance to build a stable future. That means investing in affordable housing, good-paying jobs, and schools that prepare our children for tomorrow. His focus is on creating upward mobility and breaking down barriers so every family can dream bigger and achieve more.
In Congress, Robert will fight for statehood autonomy and fight back against Trump’s attacks on D.C.
Lowering the cost of living and building economic mobility by launching a bold D.C. Forward Economic Plan to secure federal resources for affordable housing, workforce development, and jobs—particularly for residents without college degrees.
Making D.C. safer and stronger by partnering with local and federal officials to address crime and invest in youth programs that create real opportunities that prevent violence – before it starts.
Protecting local control and the future of D.C. by building powerful coalitions within Congress and with national alliances to stop harmful federal interference, and to fight for statehood, ensuring D.C. finally has a say as other cities and states in America.

64% of the money placed by state came from inside District of Columbia: $388.7K of $608.1K.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| 668 contributions · 64% | $388,682 |
| 124 contributions · 16% | $100,180 |

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 16 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 · 164 contributions · 21% of ranked | $105,606 |
| Written instead of an employer · 66 contributions · 8.9% of ranked | $44,492 |

A further $32,551 came from donors whose answer names no employer (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 ($137,112) 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 $8,652 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.
Total itemized disbursements $793,271
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 267 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
6 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $6,823 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 |
|---|---|
| 8 payments · 10% of all spending | $96,500 |
| 13 payments · 6.9% of all spending | $65,200 |
| 7 payments · 5.4% of all spending | $51,687 |
| 2 payments · 5.3% of all spending | $50,000 |
| 2 payments · 4.9% of all spending | $46,125 |
| 18 payments · 4.8% of all spending | $45,500 |
| 4 payments · 3.4% of all spending | $32,656 |
| 5 payments · 2.4% of all spending | $22,700 |
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 · 166 contributions · 18% of ranked | $105,706 |
| 107 contributions · 16% of ranked | $90,755 |
