A Not-Insulting End-of-Quarter Email

If you’re a political donor — and, of course, you are — you get a lot of fundraising emails that insult your intelligence. Unless, of course, you’re an idiot.

Anyway, it’s the end of the quarter. And everybody who’s raising money is sending out an end-of-quarter email. Why should I be any different?

Midwest Values PAC is contributing all over the damn place. We must fucking win these goddamn secretary of state races!!! Jesus Christ! If we lose those, they can steal the 2024 elections and the world will go to shit! Our fucking democracy is at stake.

I hope that last paragraph (or the first one) didn’t offend you. The point is MVP has contributed to U.S. Senate races across the country — governor races — state Supreme Court races — and heavily in ground game in Nevada and Pennsylvania. And of course, to a number of secretary of state races.

P.S. I hate most of the fundraising emails that I get. I figured I owe you something a little different. Maybe something that will entertain you a little. In this one, I’ve used a lot of irony and foul language to emphasize the importance of these races, and of course, to entertain.

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.
