PUHLEEZE!!

I just realized that including “Former (?) Supporter” might encourage some folks receiving these emails to not give.

Trump’s Big Birthday Parade

Tomorrow Donald Trump will be viewing a military parade to celebrate his 79th birthday. (And the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army). But mainly his birthday.

D-DAY

Eighty-one years ago today American troops landed on the beaches of Normandy and helped turn the tide of World War II. It’s a powerful reminder of the true cost of freedom and the strength of international alliances.

We Need to Talk About the Dip

Recently we’re experiencing what in fundraising circles is called “an average contribution dip.” In April our average online contribution was $31.98. This month? It’s $29.28.

74 and More

When you’re old like me (I’m 74 years and 8 days old), birthdays don’t feel like that big of a deal. But all your generous support this past week reminded me how great it can be.

Results are in!

I asked you all two simple but important questions: What Democrats should be doing differently and how should we fight back?

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.
