Finance Reports
Campaign committee registered; no periodic FEC report on file yet
Checked 2026-09-24: principal campaign committee C00955070 (candidate ID H6CA50324) has no periodic Form 3 report (quarterly or pre-/post-election) covering 2025–26 in the FEC electronic-filing list or the FEC image index, so no receipts, spending or cash on hand have been reported yet. A committee registered after June 30 files its first report with the October Quarterly (due Oct 15, 2026).

In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I'm running for Congress because I've watched from behind the camera long enough. I've seen housing costs push families out of neighborhoods they grew up in. I've reported on grocery prices eating up paychecks and healthcare premiums that force impossible choices.”
“I've spent fifty years making sure the powerful couldn't hide behind talking points and press releases. I'm not going to Washington to learn their language. I'm going to make them speak ours.”
