Frankly, I’m scared

The government is about to shut down. And that’s because of these right-wing nutcases in the House who don’t care about the people who will be hurt — including many women, infants, and children who rely on the WIC program. And, of course, federal employees will not see paychecks throughout the shutdown.

The last one, which lasted 35 days from December 22, 2018, to January 26, 2019, cost the federal government $5 billion. Oh. And that’s when Republicans controlled both Houses of Congress and the White House.

Help us beat these guys!

P.S. Frankly, I’m scared.

P.P.S. Of spiders. But also, of these awful, awful, horrific Republicans.

P.P.P.S. In the incredibly unlikely event that they don’t shut down the government between now and Saturday, we will still put your money to good use to support progressives and protect democracy.

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.
