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 does not hold a seat in Congress now, so there is no current voting record, cosponsorships or committee service to show here.
That absence is not a position for or against anything.
Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
