Finance Reports
No FEC campaign committee or reports on file for 2026
Checked 2026-09-24: the Federal Election Commission lists candidate ID H6MI03214 for this race, but no principal campaign committee is designated for the 2025–26 cycle, so there are no committee reports of receipts or spending. A candidate who raises or spends under $5,000 is not required to register a committee.

In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I'm Joe Jock, the Green Party candidate for Michigan's 3rd Congressional District. I'm a working-class Michigander, a father, and an ordinary citizen who believes our government has become far too disconnected from the people it is supposed to represent.”
