My New Year’s Resolution

Well, it’s the start of a new year! That can mean a lot of things to different people. Time to exercise more regularly, for example. Or to eat healthier foods. And recycle more. Or to give more of your time and attention to the people around you. Or to organize your closet.

Am I making you feel terrible yet? I thought so!

Don’t get me wrong. All of those are good things. I myself am doing one of them! Which is: to write more and better fundraising letters.

Fact is, it’s not just a new year! It’s a new odd year. And to those of us who care about who we elect to public office, that means a new election cycle!

My friend, Montana Senator Jon Tester, is up for reelection in 2024. In 2018, he won by just 18,000 votes. This past cycle, Midwest Values PAC gave to a lot of incumbents and challengers for federal and state office and state parties and UNITE HERE’s ground game and on and on. This cycle, we’re maxing out to Tester right away!

Oh! Happy New Year!

P.S. I hope you can help MVP give out what’s called “early money.” And help us build a war chest to help Democrats throughout the next two years.

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.
