Dad/Stupid Daddy’s Zoom Birthday Extravaganza! With Dana Carvey!

When I was a kid and it was time for me and my brother Joe to go to bed, my dad would tell us stories about a character named Stupid Daddy.

Stupid Daddy meant well, but he was… well, stupid. He did the dumbest stuff in the world and every time we heard about Stupid Daddy, Joe and I would laugh until we were too tired to laugh anymore.

Well, Dad/Stupid Daddy’s 72nd birthday is coming up, and we’re having a big Zoom birthday party for him on May 18th. You should come!

All you have to do is contribute $5 or more to secure your spot. All proceeds go toward Dad’s Midwest Values PAC, which helps elect Democrats and supports progressive causes. They’ve given more than $3 million dollars to 235 candidates and 225 organizations since 2006! 

And it won’t just be my dad you’ll see at the Zoom party — his good friend Dana Carvey will be there, too! They’ll even be taking questions and you can submit yours after you RSVP.

I promise — you won’t want to miss it. Contribute here to lock in your spot on the guest list.

Thank you!

P.S. My dad told me he always includes a P.S. in these as an excuse to squeeze in another ask for contributions. So here we go: Chip in $5 (or more!) to join us for Dad’s 72nd Zoom birthday party on Thursday! May 18th! 8 p.m. EST! On Zoom!

P.P.S. Here’s a picture of me as a kid, exhibiting the energy I plan on bringing to my dad’s birthday this year:

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.
