  • From the Desk of Al Franken

SPEAKER JIM JORDAN?

Is it possible? Speaker Jim Jordan?

Why not?

He just announced that he’s running to replace former Speaker… Jesus, I forgot his name already!

McCarthy! Kevin McCarthy! The first Speaker to be ousted by a House vote. EVER.

All this points to the importance of the next election, don’t you think? Especially in the House. With the Senate map looking very challenging, it is absolutely essential that we take back the House. Which is extremely doable.

First of all, the margin is now four. We need to pick up five seats. And the display we’ve seen from this Republican House should make that easy. Midwest Values PAC plans to spend heavily on House races all over the country.

HELP US OUT

I’ll give you an example. My former judiciary counsel, Josh Riley, ran in New York’s 19th district. He lost by 1.6%, despite running 6% ahead of Gov. Kathy Hochul. 

Josh will win this time. With MVP’s help and with mine personally. And I predict we will win enough seats in New York to flip the House. Does the name George Santos ring a bell?

DONATE

The American people are looking at this shitshow — pardon my language, but it is a giant shitshow — in the House and don’t want it. Voters want a functional government — a functional Congress! And we have identified seats all over the country that we can — will — flip. With your help!

Thanks!

P.S. Only 44 days till the next vote to shut down the government. Well… Jim Jordan’s a reasonable guy!

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.
