Democrat Elected Mayor in Omaha!

So, a Democratic County executive defeated the three-term Republican mayor of Omaha by ten points on Tuesday. This upset follows last month’s huge victory in Wisconsin where a liberal defeated Elon Musk’s money and won a seat on the State Supreme Court.

On top of this, Trump’s polling numbers continued to crater as he tromped around the Middle East.

All this to say we at Midwest Values PAC are encouraged!

The expected inflation from Trump’s tariff regime will no doubt only exacerbate his paltry showing in the polls. And the Medicaid cuts! Republicans in Congress are clearly having second thoughts. Missouri Senator Josh Hawley is saying they are “morally wrong and politically suicidal.” For once, I agree with him.

We at MVP hope you can see to it in your hearts to support us as we gear up for November’s races in New Jersey and Virginia and for the midterms a year hence. Remember, early money goes far!

Thanks!

P.S. Looks like Trump’s not getting his giant Qatari luxury jet after all. My bet is that he’ll never mention it again…

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.
