  • From the Desk of Al Franken

Thank you, Lindsey Graham

So, Lindsey Graham has dropped a bill that would ban abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. A year-and-a-half ago, he introduced a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks. I see a trend here. Next year, ten weeks.

Thank you, Lindsey! I definitely think Chuck Schumer should put the bill on the floor to make Republicans take the vote.

Perhaps you saw what happened in Kansas. A couple weeks after the Dobbs decision, Kansans voted 59%-41% against a state constitutional amendment to ban abortion. That’s Kansas!

Midwest Values PAC supports only pro-choice candidates. We are supporting them in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Minnesota, Michigan, Nevada, and North Carolina. That includes candidates for the U.S. Senate, the House, governor, state secretary of state and attorney general, and supreme court.

And, as we have in the past, we have invested your donations heavily in ground game – specifically, with UNITE HERE, the hospitality workers. Last cycle, we were the first to give to them in Nevada and in Georgia, where they knocked on over three million doors just in the special elections that gave us Raphael Warnock and Ossoff. We are investing in them again in both Nevada and Pennsylvania.

Please help us win in November.

P.S. In keeping with my pledge to always include a P.S. (as an excuse to make another ask), may I suggest you write Lindsey Graham to thank him.

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.
