Achilles for Idaho | U.S. Senate 2026@Achilles4IdahoOct 12, 2026The claim is extracted from a Facebook-style passage by a campaign (apparently Todd Achilles's Idaho Senate campaign, per source 3) saying every $100 donation lets them reach 10,000 more Idahoans on Facebook. None of the provided sources addresses Facebook ad reach, cost per impression, or the campaign's donation-to-reach arithmetic; the sources only establish the candidate, his campaign, and unrelated coverage.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… We've got a chance to make history by beating my 83 year old opponent. But I need your help to stop the war in Iran, lower gas prices, and return sanity to DC Every small donation matters. And this may sound crazy, but every time you give 100 bucks, we can reach 10,000 more people in Idaho with our message here on Facebook. Appreciate your help.
Achilles for Idaho | U.S. Senate 2026@Achilles4Idaho · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. The only campaign-linked sources (Instagram post, Ballotpedia, Idaho Capital Sun interview) describe Todd Achilles's independent Senate run against incumbent Jim Risch but say nothing about Facebook advertising costs or reach.[3][4][5][6]
Context. Remaining sources (AP on pro-Trump government ads, CRS salary report, UN peace day, a Maine Facebook post) are unrelated to Idaho campaign advertising and do not address the claim.[1][2][7][8]
Context. The claim's figures (100 dollars buys 10,000 Idaho reach) appear only in the claimant's own words, which are not evidence; the extraction faithfully matches the passage's figures and scope.
