A landslide in…Miami!?

Last night, Democrats won the Miami mayoral race — flipping the seat blue. 

This win is significant so I want to ask right up front: Will you make a donation to Midwest Values PAC to help us turn victories like this one into victories nationwide?

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Al, Democrats always win in big cities! Well let me tell you why this is a big deal: Miami Mayor-elect Eileen Higgins will be the first woman Mayor in the city’s history and the first Democrat elected in nearly 30 years. And not only did she defeat Trump-endorsed Emilio González…she beat him by 19 points!

This is more than a single victory. It’s a flashing neon sign that the electorate is shifting. Turns out Americans like being able to afford groceries, housing, and health care. And they really don’t like the immoral and cruel immigration policies coming out of the MAGA movement.

So here’s my takeaway: If Democrats can win in Miami, Florida, we can win competitive races all across the country.

That’s why I’m asking you to support Midwest Values PAC. Together, we can help Democrats flip the House, defend the Senate, and win up and down the ballot in the midterms.

Thanks,

Al

P.S. Oh, and one more thing. Democrats also flipped a state House district in Georgia last night that had voted for Trump by 13 points. If that’s not momentum, I don’t know what is

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.
