FRANNI’S BIRTHDAY!!!

My current wife, Franni, turns 72 today! When I say “current,” I mean that she’s been my current wife since 1975. Though we met at a college mixer in Boston in 1969.

We’ve been through a lot together. Almost all of it great. Two wonderful kids. Four beautiful grandchildren. (Because their parents are not just great — but beautiful as well!)

We had the honor of campaigning together and representing the people of Minnesota.

But both Franni and I continue to fight for the kind of country we believe America is and can be. That’s why we’ve been dedicated to continuing the work of Midwest Values PAC. Thanks to you, we’ve been able to contribute to some hard-won victories which have made life better for millions of Americans.

But as you see every day, the stakes seem to grow ever higher. Our very democracy is at risk. And Franni and I are too old to move to Canada.

Please help MVP help keep America what it needs to be.  

And how beautiful is our family?! Huh?!

P.S. As you know, I always add a P.S. to make another ask. This one includes another photo. This is me and Franni in 1972.

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.
