Kansas. Arkansas. Texas. (Yes, really.)

More good news and bad news from POLITICO.

Because Trump’s policies and corruption are so unpopular with voters, there is real opportunity for Democrats to win in places usually written off.

Don’t believe me? GOP actions (cash) speaks louder than words.

Over $10 million to Kansas. $5 million to South Carolina. $200 million to Texas. There’s a real opportunity here but there’s a catch: will Democrats have enough money to make it count?

Here at MVP, we of course have supported the biggest races each cycle.

But we also have a long track record of supporting Democratic candidates up and down the ballot and investing in opportunities to have our dollar stretch the furthest.

So yes, we can all see an opportunity. But right now, Republicans have made more than $700 million in ad reservations while Democrats have made $430 million (I know, big numbers).

We’re less than four weeks from Election Day. The time to give is NOW.

P.S. If you’ve been watching debates like me, you’ve seen a lot of great moments for Democrats. I’ll get into some of them in later emails.

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since I started Midwest Values PAC to help Democrats win elections — from progressive organizations to state legislatures to Congress to the White House — who share the values I grew up with in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Since 2006, Midwest Values PAC has invested more than $4 million in 341 candidates and organizations — and counting. 

Of course, none of this happens without you (or supporters like you) who care enough to pitch in.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, the work is more urgent than ever. This year, we have a big job: flip the House, take the Senate, and win up and down the ballot at the state and local level.

To mark our 20th year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 26,000 contributions by Election Day 2026.

Thanks for being part of this fight, and for sticking with us for 20 years (or for just joining — welcome!).

P.S. Over the years, okay, decades, we’ve helped Democrats win tough races all across the country by investing early, intelligently, and strategically. That’s how you flip seats. That’s how you protect democracy. And that’s how you stop the worst impulses of a president who never should have been president in the first place.
