I Made News in Wisconsin!

Sorry. Things aren’t funny anymore. Well, that’s not entirely true. There’s Ron Johnson.

I did a trip to Wisconsin to campaign for Mandela Barnes and raise money for the Wisconsin state party. And I made a little news.

As you may recall, Johnson took some heat because his chief of staff tried to pass off a slate of fake electors to Vice President Pence on January 6th. According to Johnson, “I knew nothing about it.”

At a press conference, I said, “If my chief of staff tried to pass off fake electors to overturn an election and didn’t tell me, I’d fire him.” And then called for a Senate ethics investigation. That’s what made the news. The real news – local TV news!

Two families in Wisconsin paid for more than $20 million for ugly, wildly misleading attack ads against Lt. Gov. Barnes. Thanks to you, Midwest Values PAC has been able to invest in Wisconsin and continues to do so.

If you’ve already supported MVP, thank you! You should know, that unless you’ve maxed out, you are legally allowed to give again!

P.S. And if you haven’t given yet – what the hell is wrong with you!!!

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.
