Please don't look away, Emily. I just learned that a crypto dark money PAC is dumping $30 million into defeating our campaign. Ohio is their biggest target, and it’s with a historic amount in the final stretch of our race. These attacks have already started, and we have less than 24 hours to respond. Please rush a split contribution between my campaign and the DNC to help fend off these attacks. There are a lot of moving pieces, but here's what I know right now: As of today, the Republican establishment was already spending $14 million each week against us. That includes Jon Husted's super PAC, Elon Musk's contributions, Peter Thiel's dark money, and Donald Trump's multi-million-dollar investment. With these crypto dark money PACs jumping in, that weekly amount is skyrocketing. For reference, our campaign is currently spending about $2 million on TV ads each week. Combined Republican spending is now at over $100 million against me this cycle. I'm never one to say the sky is falling or sound the alarm unnecessarily. But, Emily, this is not one of those times. Crypto's new spending could bury us. They're doing it because Jon Husted is extremely vulnerable and the GOP has seen this tactic work before. In my 2024 race, when crypto started spending against me and we weren't able to respond, the polls started turning in Republicans' favor. We lost that race. A few weeks ago, Senate Republicans put out a call for outside groups like data centers and AI to bail Husted out with enormous cash infusions in the Ohio Senate race. And Emily, this is them answering the call. We had no choice but to raise our fundraising goals so we could mount a response to these attacks from Big Tech. My team and I did the math and we need to raise $1 million so we can scale up our program immediately.

Crypto dark money PACs are coming after me. I have nowhere else to turn.
Emily, will you open this?

Emily — Thank you for taking a moment to open this email. If you’re able to give your first donation to the DNC, that time is now. We’re one week away from the last end-of-quarter FEC fundraising deadline before the midterm elections. 99.7% of the DNC’s donations come from grassroots supporters just like you, Emily, and together we have the power to create massive change. When this deadline passes, Trump and his MAGA allies will check our numbers to see how strong the grassroots resistance to the Trump administration is headed into the midterms. This is one of our last chances to show them there is a powerful movement standing in opposition to their dangerous, billionaire-first agenda. That’s why we need your support today. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

Emily vs. Elon Musk
|

Emily, he's back... Elon Musk’s super PAC is dumping MILLIONS into battleground Senate races to try and buy wins for his favorite MAGA candidates and crush Democrats’ chances of flipping the Senate and winning down the ballot. Here’s the breakdown on Elon’s PAC’s spending spree:
That’s over $14 million. Elon Musk treats America’s elections like an investment to protect his bottom line — not a democracy that works for all of us. Defeating this wave of billionaire-backed MAGA candidates will be tough, but not impossible. Donations to the DNC won’t directly fund Senate campaigns, but we’re the ONLY organization responsible for winning these races at every level nationwide and we need your help to deliver wins up and down the ballot. We know it will take a massive organizing ground game, persuasive ads, and an innovative social media operation. It’s not cheap, but we’re greenlighting these investments in the hopes that 500 Democrats from Virginia pull through. So we’re respectfully asking you, Emily: As one of our top Virginia Democrats, will you chip in $7 to the DNC to elect Democrats up and down the ballot and across the country? We’ve beaten Elon Musk’s millions before — we can do it again, together. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.
