Where the money goes

live· 2026 cycle

McGuire's campaign has spent $828K across 413 reported disbursements.

Top payees
  • FULFILLMENT SOLUTIONS, INC.$98K
  • SERVISFIRST BANKCARD$97K
  • VIRGINIA CONSULTING GROUP$90K
  • POSTAGE FOR DIRECT MAIL FUNDRAISING$90K
  • HOLTZMAN VOGEL JOSEFIAK$77K
  • CAPITAL CORNERED$61K
Fundraising & event venues
  • GENERAL DYNAMICS CORPORATIONRESTON, VA$250

These are the venues, caterers, and hotels the campaign paidfor events — the money trail to where fundraising happened, with the vendor's city and state. It is not a guest list or attendance: who came, who hosted, and “what the crowd was like” aren't in any public record, so we don't guess at them.

Categories are grouped by keyword from the free-text purpose each campaign reports to the FEC, so the split is a guide, not an audit. Otheris spending whose reported purpose didn't clearly fit a category — campaigns describe disbursements inconsistently. Totals are for the candidate's campaign committees this cycle; see the FEC for the line-by-line record.
