Last night, Donald Trump proved something we can't afford to ignore: he will spend whatever it takes to destroy anyone who crosses him.
Graham Platner is set to be our Democratic nominee for Maine’s U.S. Senate seat, taking on Susan Collins. Can you donate to help Midwest Values PAC max out to his campaign?
In a 6-3 decision from the Supreme Court, Samuel Alito and five Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices just dealt a major blow to the Voting Rights Act, the landmark civil rights law that restricted racial gerrymandering and racial discrimination in voting for more than fifty years.
What’s happening right now isn’t complicated. It’s corruption. Big, bold, out-in-the-open corruption.
I wish I were writing to you with something fun. A joke. A light anecdote about Ted Cruz. Instead, I’ve been doing some… let’s call it “not fun math.”
Just in case you missed it, something pretty remarkable happened last Sunday in Hungary.

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.
