So what?

This week, special counsel Jack Smith dropped a 165-page filing, which lays out the evidence he would present in a January 6 criminal case against Donald Trump.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

We all have that one weird, MAGA relative or acquaintance we see a couple of times a year. No matter what new, dangerous thing Donald Trump says or does, we’ll never convince your Uncle Jim of how unfit Trump is. 

The Dip Is Real

First, I’d like to thank all of you for your support. Although maybe it’s coming only from Current Supporters.

An impassioned plea!

First, I want to thank all of you who have donated to Midwest Values PAC over the years. As we head into the fall, our ability to help Democrats around the country becomes even more crucial.

537 VOTES!

In 2000, Al Gore lost Florida, and with it, the presidency by 537 votes.

It’s Really Happening!

Early voting starts on Friday in Minnesota. This is getting real. We’re no longer talking about an election that is months and months away — this election begins this week!

Strongman… again!

During the debate this week, Donald Trump cited Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as a character reference, which reminded me of this email I sent at the beginning of the year.

THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS

Vice President Harris did an amazing job during last night’s debate. She was well prepared and demonstrated her command over the issues and excellent on-the-fly decision-making — and it paid off.

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.

DONATE HERE

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.
