Last month, we tackled one of the most urgent questions facing American democracy:

Raffle closing soon!

My daughter, who makes ceramics, and I crafted two one-of-a-kind plates. Even though there are two.

Second Annual Plate Raffle!

I hope you’re enjoying your summer. If you’re lucky, that means some time with family. I just got to visit my daughter, Thomasin, who does ceramics, and we made plates together.

Re-upping an old email

Remember this email (see below) that I sent on 4th of July last year about celebrating democracy while we still have it?

Inhumane

The House just passed — and tomorrow Trump will sign — his big monstrosity of a bill, which will increase our national debt another 3-4 trillion dollars, strip health care away from 17 million Americans, and take SNAP food assistance from millions more.

BOMB, BOMB IRAN

It was clear that Trump wanted to bomb Iran. And so he did. On Saturday, seven B-2 bombers flew over 7,000 miles to do just that.

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.
