"President Trump’s America First movement put the focus back on the people who work hard, raise families, and power this country. But Washington bureaucrats still reward the wrong priorities. I’m running to help build an America First economy that works for the people who fund it." - Mark
Families are paying more for groceries, energy, housing, and everyday necessities while Congress spends taxpayer dollars like it belongs to them instead of the people who earned it. I’ll fight for lower costs and policies that help families and small businesses get ahead again.
Every nation has the right to secure its borders, enforce its laws, and put its citizens first. Strong immigration enforcement protects American communities, preserves our national identity, and strengthens the rule of law. Citizens must come first in their own country.
Washington loses hundreds of billions every year to waste and fraud while taxpayers are expected to carry the burden. I believe government should answer to the people funding it and be held accountable for every dollar it spends.
America needs to start building and producing again. I’ll fight for American energy, manufacturing, skilled trades, and policies that reward productivity over dependency. Strong nations depend on strong industries, good-paying jobs, and leaders who understand the real economy.
Strong families, shared values, and individual freedoms are the foundation of a strong country. I’ll defend our constitutional rights, parental rights, religious liberty, and the conservative values that hold our nation and community together.

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.

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 ($7,525) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Outside spending $657,351 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.
$528,239 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Tedford’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Tedfordunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.
