Where we gave your money in Q1

If you didn’t already hear, in the last election cycle we were able to give out nearly $1 MILLION bucks — double the giving rate of other PACs. This cycle we’re aiming even higher.

You’re in luck!

I sent you an email about two things I wanted you to remember. If you didn’t read my email or don’t remember, you’re in luck because I’m going to tell you those two things again: 

YEESH!

It’s been the worst 100 days since William Henry Harrison.

99 days

There are two things I want you to remember:

For the sake of this email and my moral beliefs

I’m sure many of you are, like me, watching and reading the news each day in horror. I’ve been paying close attention to Kilmar Abrego Garcia — who still sits in a notoriously awful prison in El Salvador.

50 Years of SNL!

Earlier this year, we got to celebrate SNL’s 50th anniversary. It was great to get together with compatriots whom I worked with thirty-five, forty, even fifty years ago.

Don’t despair!

Feeling hopeless? Don’t! I know, I know — things can feel like a dumpster fire inside a train wreck. But guess what? Good things are happening. Case in point: Wisconsin, yesterday!

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.
