Money in this race

From FEC filings for 2025–26. Outside spending is money a group spends on its own about a candidate — TV and online ads, mail, canvassing. It is not a donation to the campaign, and the candidate does not control it. Supporting means it was spent to help that candidate win; Opposing means it was spent to defeat them, usually on attack ads. Groups report it within 24 or 48 hours as the election nears. Raised is the campaign's own fundraising, as of its latest quarterly report. Largest donors come from each outside spender's own FEC receipts, with each donor's share of its itemized receipts; donors under $100,000 are not named. People are shown with the employer and occupation they reported. A donor that is itself a political committee is shown with its own largest donors. Companies and nonprofits don't report their funders to the FEC, so the trail ends there, and the page says so.

What a GREAT day on the campaign trail! 🇺🇸❤️ I was honored to be asked to participate in the Sons of Liberty Convention today, surrounded by people who are passionate about our freedoms, our Constitution, and the future of our communities! Sharing a forum with other patriots like Bob Fioretti, Darren Bailey, Don Tracy, Dillan Vancil, Rep. Darin LaHood and countless others was amazing. Afterwards, I attended the McDonough County Republicans Fall Event. The venue was packed, the energy was through the roof, and enthusiasm and support were incredible! Always great catching up with Brad Beekman For State Senate and Josh Higgins For State Rep. With just over TWO WEEKS until Election Day, I can feel the momentum building everywhere we go! From packed events to conversations with voters across the circuit, one thing is clear: People are paying attention, getting involved, and ready to make their voices heard! I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who continues to stand beside me, encourage me, and help carry this campaign forward. We’re not slowing down now! 🔥 #bryantforcircuitjudge #9thjudicialcircuit #TheRightChoice #GOTV #vote Fulton County Republicans Warren County IL Republicans Henderson County Illinois Republican Central Committee Hancock County Republican Central Committee Knox County IL Republican Central Committee Federation of Illinois Young Republicans Forgottonia YR

Paid for by City of East Molinefrom 2026-09-25spend $0–992,000–2,999 impressions
East Moline is charged up! The City celebrated the addition of two public Level 3 EV fast chargers at the East Moline Public Library with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Since becoming available in June, the chargers have already supported nearly 100 charging sessions. The location gives residents and visitors a practical place to charge while they visit the library, stop into nearby businesses or spend time downtown. The project was funded through Illinois’ Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, known as CEJA, and reflects a strong collaborative effort to bring this resource to the community. Thank you to Metro IL Quad Cities and the East Moline Public Library for their collaboration in bringing this project to life. We also appreciate Congressman Eric Sorensen, State Senator Mike Halpin, Mayor Reggie Freeman, our alderpersons and project partners for celebrating with us.

What this page is

  • An ad is on this page because its own "Paid for by" line is a campaign in this race; or it comes from a national Senate group and ran mostly in IL; or it ran mostly in IL and names a candidate — unless its sponsor is a campaign for some other office. Ads from outside groups appear alongside the campaigns' own.
  • Campaigns run one text as many separate ads. Identical text from the same sponsor is one card here, marked with its number of variants.
  • A technique is a specific rhetorical move in the wording, found by our model and explained in one line. It is not a claim that the ad is false.
  • Claims are checked when a reader asks: press "Check this ad's claims" on a card. Running a check and seeing its verdicts are part of Semblen Pro, because each check costs money to run; anyone can see which claims an ad makes. The ten ads with the most money behind them in each race are checked ahead of time.
  • Claim verdicts say what the cited sources say. A verdict that an ad is wrong or misleading is shown only when it cites an established fact-checker or an institutional record — Congress, a federal agency, a court — and its confidence is not low; a weaker one is not shown at all. Each verdict shows what it rests on and how confident it is. If we got one wrong, press Disagree: a verdict that readers dispute and no one defends comes down.
  • Video ads come from the campaigns' own YouTube channels; the transcript is analyzed. Meta ads are analyzed on their text; their video and images are not, yet.
