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.

WHOSE POCKET IS PAPPAS IN?

Paid for by Senate Leadership Fundvideo · 0:30from 2026-09-19
In Washington, you can find Chris Pappas here, in the pocket of DC lobbyists, in the pocket of the Amazon lobbyist he dated while voting on their bills. You can also find him here, in the pocket of his liberal donors in exchange for big tax breaks for their mansions in New York and Massachusetts. Chris Pappas, he really fits in in Washington.

Loaded Language: The phrase 'in the pocket of' is emotionally charged, implying corruption and undue influence — for example: in the pocket of DC lobbyists, in the pocket of the Amazon lobbyist and in the pocket of his liberal donors.

Repetition: The phrase 'in the pocket of' is repeated three times within the sentence to reinforce the impression of corruption through familiarity — for example: in the pocket of DC lobbyists, in the pocket of the Amazon lobbyist and in the pocket of his liberal donors.

Name Calling: Pappas is implicitly labeled as corrupt and beholden to special interests without substantive argument — for example: in the pocket of DC lobbyists and Chris Pappas, he really fits in in Washington.

Appeal to Prejudice: Labeling donors as 'liberal' and associating them with out-of-state mansions exploits in-group/out-group identity to suggest Pappas serves wealthy coastal elites rather than local constituents — for example: 'liberal donors in exchange for big tax breaks for their mansions in New York and Massachusetts'

CHRIS PAPPAS LIED TO VOTERS

Paid for by Senate Leadership Fundvideo · 0:30from 2026-09-09
Chris Pappas looked voters in the eye and lied. You've been dating a corporate lobbyist who actually was lobbying on behalf of Amazon at time when you then went on to cast votes on Amazon's behalf on bills they lobbied you on. Yes, it is, Congressman. Absolutely is. That's not true. It was true. Pappas dated an Amazon lobbyist, voted on bills that Amazon lobbied on, then lied about it. Chris Pappas, lying, corrupt, out for himself, not you. SLF PAC is responsible for the content of this message.
Loaded LanguageCard StackingName CallingAppeal to PrejudiceRepetition71.4% of sentences flagged

Loaded Language: The phrase 'looked voters in the eye and lied' uses emotionally charged language to paint the subject as deliberately deceptive and morally corrupt — for example: looked voters in the eye and lied and corporate lobbyist.

Card Stacking: The sentence presents a sequence of facts and implications as if they self-evidently prove corrupt intent, omitting any context such as whether the votes were consistent with prior positions or whether any conflict of interest was disclosed — for example: 'cast votes on Amazon's behalf on bills they lobbied you on'

Name Calling: Derogatory labels are applied directly to Pappas to discredit him rather than address any argument — for example: lying, corrupt, out for himself.

Appeal to Prejudice: The phrase 'not you' invokes an in-group/out-group contrast, implying Pappas serves himself rather than the audience, exploiting voter identity — for example: 'out for himself, not you'

Repetition: The accusation of dishonesty is repeated across sentences 1 and 2 with 'lied' and then 'lying' to reinforce the label through familiarity — for example: 'lied about it' and 'lying'

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 NH; or it ran mostly in NH 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 manipulative 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. The check runs once and its result is shown to everyone afterwards. 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.
