Pass legislation to overturn Citizens United and close the super PAC loopholes that let billionaires buy our elections. Elon Musk has already funneled $366 million into the 2025-26 cycle alone — $158 million of that to a single Senate super PAC, which the New York Times called "one of the largest political donations in American history." One person is single-handedly outspending entire political parties. That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.
This isn't hypothetical corruption — it has real consequences. Musk's America PAC has been sending misleading texts to Colorado voters about mail-in ballots, causing mass confusion among constituents and election officials alike. Money at this scale doesn't just influence elections; it distorts them. No elected official should owe their seat to a single billionaire's checkbook. Co-sponsor and push for a floor vote on campaign finance reform that caps outside spending and restores the principle that elections belong to voters, not the ultra-wealthy.
