Wow! It really does work!

Wow. Turns out when you just ask people to “donate,” they actually… do.

Thousands of you stepped up after our last Least Annoying Ask™—and now we’re only $4,381 away from hitting our $10,000 goal before midnight.

At this point, all we need is:

  • 1 very generous person to give $4,381
  • Or 10 people to give $438.10
  • Or 100 people to give $43.81
  • Or…you get it. (There won’t be a quiz.)

However you slice it, we’re almost there—and every dollar helps us support campaigns and causes that are going to make a real difference.

So if you can, and you like scientifically low-annoyance fundraising emails…

Let’s end July better than we started it. Because how did we start this month?

Oh right: Trump signed a GOP bill into law that adds $3.4 trillion to the debt and kicks millions off health care—so that billionaires can afford slightly larger, more gold-adorned yachts.

Yikes.

Thanks,

P.S.If you’ve ever wanted to say “I helped stop billionaires from buying more yachts,” this is your moment.

Midwest Values PAC supports candidates & causes that share our values.

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.
