Last month, we tackled one of the most urgent questions facing American democracy:

What’s the least annoying way to ask for money?

We put it to the test—ran the numbers, analyzed the data, annoyed a statistically significant number of people—and the clear winner was…

That’s it. Just: DONATE.

So, in the spirit of evidence-based campaigning (and basic decency), I’m going to keep this simple.

The month ends tomorrow.

We’re hoping to raise $10,000 by midnight Thursday so we can keep supporting the best candidates and causes through Midwest Values PAC—the ones who’ll fight for democracy, affordable health care, reproductive rights, climate action, and all the other stuff we actually care about.

If that sounds good to you—and if you appreciate a low-annoyance, high-impact political email…

Thanks,

Al 

P.S. Big news: Roy Cooper is officially running for Senate in North Carolina! This is a major opportunity to flip this seat and maybe even the entire Senate! Let’s help him hit the ground running.

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.
