  • From the Desk of Al Franken

Thanks to MVP and Al Franken

I want to personally thank you for your contribution to our Workers to the Front canvassing program. We’ve had a long partnership with Senator Franken and Midwest Values PAC — and thanks to your support, more than 1,200 UNITE HERE hospitality workers knocked on over 3.2 million doors in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, delivering victories for Democratic senators in all four states. 

Victories in the closely contested battleground states are evidence that ground game works. We turned on a dime after Election Day to get out the vote in the Georgia runoff, and despite Republican efforts to limit early voting, our coalition’s efforts helped shatter records for early voting by going door to door to be sure our voters knew they needed to come out again. 

UNITE HERE’s political program is part of a decades-long cycle of investment in building and organizing infrastructure year-round, not just during election season. UNITE HERE members train as organizers and bring those skills into their neighborhoods, mostly Black, Brown, and immigrant communities, during election season. After elections end, canvassers continue building power for working people by union-organizing in the hospitality industry.

Again, thank you for standing with us and supporting our fight to build power for working people. 

In solidarity,

D. Taylor 
President
UNITE HERE

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.
