Jeanne's Cookies: Elon Musk wants to buy this seat. Bad.

Friday, August 7, 2026

Elon Musk wants to buy this seat. Bad.

Folks, we just got some news that could turn this race on its head:

According to The New York Times, Elon Musk is planning to pour more than $100 million into buying the Senate – and Ohio is one of his first targets. And he’s not doing this alone. His operation is coordinating with the Koch network and other dark-money groups to flood the airwaves and drown us out.

This is the same Elon Musk who gutted programs that Ohio families rely on and became the world’s first trillionaire while everyday people struggled with rising costs.

Now, he wants to buy Ohio's Senate seat too.

We can’t let Elon Musk and other billionaire backers decide who represents Ohio. That’s why my team just launched an urgent $200,000 rapid-response goal, and I need your help RIGHT NOW to hit it.

This kind of money could make or break our campaign. And Musk has virtually unlimited resources to use to try and buy access, power, and control.

This race is already shaping up to be the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history, and now Musk is about to hit us with a tsunami of tens of millions more.

We have no room for error. If we don’t respond NOW, Musk’s money will tip this race before we can fight back.

That’s why our $200,000 rapid-response goal matters so much. We need to prove that our grassroots team won’t let a billionaire buy this Senate seat. Your $5 might not seem like much against $100 million, but believe me, everything adds up when thousands of folks chip in a few dollars at a time. Please chip in today if you can. It has never been more important.

Hey there! It's Sherrod Brown.

There's nobody fighting for Ohioans in the U.S. Senate right now, and I won't sit on the sidelines while working people get screwed over by large corporations and wealthy political donors.

If you work hard, you should be able to afford a decent life. But the reality is, life is too expensive. Costs are going up. Wages are staying stagnant. Working people are working harder than ever before, and they're not getting their share of the profit.

This campaign is all about changing that – and election analysts say we have a strong shot at winning in November.

But I'll need your help to pull it off: My opponent is a Washington insider being propped up by the Republican establishment, and he's got virtually unlimited resources.

That's not how our campaign works. We're a grassroots movement, and that means we rely on ordinary people chipping in a couple bucks. If you're able, please make a donation of any amount today. It could be what helps us flip Ohio and the Senate.
