We’ve considered selling naming rights for everything else in the Commonwealth, why not the Senate seat?
Although who always wanted to buy themselves a political office, let them buy a chance. Let them compete against others with the ambition. Which ever candidates sends in the largest check gets the seat for the next 4 months and the state can fund all kinds of worthwhile projects.
