There’s a lot of uncertainty around what’s happening with Mitch McConnell. One thing is for certain: We need to be prepared for whatever comes next, whether that’s a special election or the general in November. If we flip Kentucky, we will flip the Senate. So, will you stand with me by rushing a donation of $10 or $25 to our campaign today?

The President of the United States sleeps through his Oval Office meetings, waking up just to cause more war, raise prices on farmers, cut benefits to healthcare, and scam taxpayers out of billions for his golden ballroom. America deserves better.

Things are 🤬 up....Oops, my bad, earmuffs. I know kids might be listening. As bad as things are, change is possible, we've seen it before. 4 years ago, we shifted the map bluer in some unexpected places. We could've taken it further with a little more investment. Please chip in $5 or whatever you can to help us retire Mitch McConnell and un🤬 Congress by sending me, a proven fighter for the working people of retirees of Kentucky.

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
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.
