How these directions are decided

Independent expenditures reported to the FEC. The supporting or opposing direction is each committee's own declared filing, not an interpretation, and a group spending against a candidate is not necessarily spending for their opponent. Outside money is not the campaign's money and is never added to what they raised.

In their own words

What Tafoya's campaign says it would work on.

The priorities Tafoya's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.

“Stop The Fraud”
“Law and Order”
“Cut Costs and Taxes for the Middle Class”
“Bring Back Courage and Common Sense”

Quoted from micheletafoya.com, read August 14, 2026. A campaign site changes; this is what it said on that date. Curia quotes these and does not check, rate or rank them.

Record in office

Tafoya has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.

That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.
