The richest person in the world is trying to save the GOP Senate Majority

I've long raised the alarm about the corrupting force of dark money in our politics, and this upcoming election is giving us one of the clearest examples yet of the problem. Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, is by far the biggest known donor of the 2026 midterms. He's spent $276 million since July.

It's an outrageous attempt by one person to drown out the voices of 'We the People' with just one goal: saving the Republican Senate Majority.

Chip in to help us fight back against billionaire money →

Musk is pouring massive amounts of money into GOP House and Senate campaigns across the country to help Donald Trump and his cronies keep their grip on power and continue to implement their "Families Lose, Billionaires Win" agenda. It's deeply wrong.

When ultra-wealthy individuals are able to buy elections and access and influence in our political system, the policies that follow serve them. Not working families trying to afford housing, health care, and groceries.

We're already seeing it under Trump: tax breaks for the wealthy, corporate loopholes left wide open, and powerful interests pushing policies that make Americans sicker and poorer.

HELL NO. That's not the democracy our founders envisioned.

I believe our government should work for people, not the rich and powerful. That's why I've fought for stronger campaign finance rules, more transparency in political spending, and it's why I don't accept a dime of corporate money in my campaigns.

The most powerful way to fight back and build a political system and future that works for all of us is with grassroots support to take back the Democratic Senate Majority.

Will you chip in a few dollars today to push back against billionaire influence and stand up for a government that works for everyone?

Onward!
