§3Popular bills that never got a vote

Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.

While Val Hoyle served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Val Hoyle sponsored or cosponsored 29 of the 52. How bills die without a vote.

§4Money

Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Outside spending

Groups spending independently reported $292,419 supporting and $437,500 opposing Val Hoyle this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 24, 2026.57

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.

§5Financial disclosures

Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
