Stop the Nutcases!

You may have noticed that the Department of Justice is now doing an active investigation of former President Trump. 

GUILTY! (If somehow I get chosen for the jury, please don’t show them this email!)

Republicans will use this to activate their base. It is absolutely essential that we have the resources to win key races. For example, in Pennsylvania, the Republican nominee for governor, State Senator Doug Mastriano, continues to spout The Big Lie. Not only did he attend the January 6th rally in D.C. – he spent $3,000 in campaign funds to charter buses there. In April, he spoke at a QAnon event, which promoted conspiracy theories about “ritual child sacrifice” and a “global satanic blood cult.”

Don’t get me wrong. In principle, I am opposed to ritual child sacrifice. It’s just that all this is friggin’ nuts!!!

That’s why we gave to Secretary of State Josh Shapiro, the Democratic nominee opposing Mastriano, and have invested $50,000 so far in the Pennsylvania ground game.

I hope you can help us beat nutcases like Mastriano and all the other nutcases around the country.

P.S. As you know, I always try to include a P.S. in these emails, because it gives me an opportunity to make another “ask.” I learned that from Nancy Pelosi’s 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.
