Giving you the gift of…

This is a little unorthodox, but what if I told you that this is the last time I’m going to ask you for money this month?

No gimmicks. No nonsense. Just a straightforward request for your support.

Here’s why: our monthly fundraising deadline lands right in the middle of Labor Day weekend. And if you’re lucky enough to get some time off — I don’t want to interrupt it by asking you for money.

So, I’m asking now since we could all use a few days off from thinking about the state of our country. You’re welcome! 

Just so you know, the world won’t end if you don’t give $5 or $10 (or more) to this email or before midnight on August 31st. But your contribution can help us identify and support the candidates, causes, and organizations doing the real, on-the-ground work to strengthen our party’s foundation and turn folks out on Election Day.

Thanks,

Al

P.S. Since you won’t hear from me before Labor Day, let the record show that Midwest Values PAC supports labor. Always has. Always will. And we will keep backing candidates who stand with working people. I hope you can help us today.

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.
