Giving You Thanks on Thanksgiving

Healing nurturer Stuart Smalley once said, “That attitude of gratitude, it ain’t just a platitude!”

So, this Thanksgiving, allow me to express my gratitude to all of you who have supported our work at Midwest Values PAC. Thanks to you we were able to invest in races for the Senate, House, governor, secretaries of state, attorneys general, state legislatures, and in UNITE HERE’s ground game in Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. (And now, in the Georgia runoff.)

The best part is that we won the lion’s share of the races we invested in! So, double thanks!

Have a great Thanksgiving! Franni and I will be with our daughter, Thomasin, and her family and my son, Joe, and his. Which means all four grandchildren!

P.S. As you know, I always add a P.S. as an excuse to make an extra ask. But this time NO ASK! Just gratitude.

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.
