And the “Least Annoying Ask” is…

First, thank you for participating (or not) in our very scientific experiment in fundraising psychology.

Yesterday, we asked you to help us settle one of the great political debates of our time: What’s the least annoying way to ask for money?

And the winner is…

DONATE!

That’s right. It was a tight race (honorable mention to “Help!”), but “Donate” pulled ahead to become our official Least Annoying Ask™ — for now.

So, in the spirit of democracy, science, and donating…

Donate to help us reach our mid-year goal before the FEC deadline TONIGHT.

This mid-year deadline matters because it determines how much we can give to progressive candidates and causes across the country. It’s one of the most effective ways we can support the folks doing the work — and win elections.

P.S. Again, this is a hugely important MID-YEAR deadline, not one of those end of quarter or ‘EOQ’ deadlines (which sounds like a noise I make when I stub my toe) that happen throughout the year.

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.

DONATE HERE

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.
