Two candidates for TX-10. Two very different ideas of public service. One is Elon Musk's political attorney who works for the powerful and well-connected. The other is running to work for YOU. This election, send someone to Congress who answers to you.

Elon Musk’s longtime lawyer Chris Gober is running for Congress after receiving $747,000 in AI PAC support and making “significant requests” shaping new congressional maps that added Grimes County to the district where he’s now running. Coincidence? Read and decide for yourself.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
