Finance Reports
Campaign committee registered; no periodic FEC report on file yet
Checked 2026-09-24: principal campaign committee C00951624 (candidate ID H6RI01161) 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 will not take money from AIPAC, foreign-agent PACs, or lobbying groups that put another country's interests ahead of the American people. Rhode Island's seat in Congress belongs to Rhode Islanders.”
