We’re all about transparency here at Midwest Values PAC. That’s why I want to show you something — because when you give your hard-earned money to help Democrats win, you deserve to know where it’s going.
Last cycle, MVP didn’t just invest more money than ever before — we used it better than ever before. Our giving rate was roughly double that of other Democratic groups. That’s not luck. That’s intention. That’s strategy. (And maybe a touch of Minnesota thriftiness.)
We’re pretty determined to make every dollar count. And this cycle, we’re aiming even higher. Thanks to you (or supporters like you), we’re already well on our way.
Here’s where we’ve been putting those dollars to work so far:
Governor:
Abigail Spanberger (VA)
Deb Haaland (NM)
Mikie Sherrill (NJ)
Congress:
Amish Shah (AZ)
Christina Bohannan (IA)
Jake Johnson (MN)
Joanna Mendoza (AZ)
Josh Riley (NY)
Kelly Morrison (MN)
Rebecca Cooke (WI)
Sarah Trone (IA)
Senate:
Juliana Stratton (IL)
Peggy Flanagan (MN)
Roy Cooper (NC)
Alex Vindman (FL)
Zach Wahls (IA)
Key Organizations and Causes:
EMILY’s List
Democratic Association of Secretaries of State
Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association
Progressive Change Campaign Committee
Wisconsin Democratic Party
Minnesota DFL
…and more. We’re doing the kind of work that doesn’t always make headlines — but wins elections.
Here’s the thing: we don’t just send money — we invest it.
We vet campaigns. We look for places where a dollar actually persuades a voter, not just generates another email. We focus on building infrastructure that lasts longer than one election cycle. (Because if we’re doing this right, we won’t have to keep relearning the same lessons every two years.)
And it’s working. Democrats have been flipping seats all over the place.
So thank you. None of this happens without you.

P.S. We’re building the kind of long-term strength our party needs — not just to win the next election, but the one after that, and the one after that.
