I actually write these damn things

Happy New Year! I just realized that this year is an election year. That’s because the guy who runs my PAC reminded me.

Okay, I’ll fess up. That guy is me. That’s how you know I actually write these damn things.

In all seriousness, this is a really frightening year. And we have to win.

Midwest Values PAC’s mission is to help Democrats win up and down the ballot. That’s why in 2023 we supported top tier races from Montana to Michigan and we made smart use of your dollars by investing in programs that will strengthen our democratic infrastructure in 2024 and beyond. And let’s not forget donating to Colin Allred who is taking on my nemesis, Ted Cruz. 

So, I’ll cut to the chase.

Why not fulfill your new year’s resolution to be a better person?

P.S. Oh, your resolution was to go to the gym and spend more time with your loved ones? Well you gotta admit, this is easier.

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.
