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.

The Most Flawed Man

I’ve been thinking of questions Vice President Kamala Harris can ask Trump in tomorrow night’s debate.

Do Minnesotans execute newborns?

It’s a bald-faced lie — one that Trump’s told often — that in some blue states, they allow infanticide. In June, Trump told Fox News: “Hard to believe, they have some states passing legislation where you can execute the baby after birth. It’s crazy.” It is crazy. And, of course, not true.

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.
