Occasionally in the world of political emails, important fundraising deadlines occur at very inopportune times — like the one we have this Sunday, right in the middle of Labor Day weekend. 

We still have money to raise before August ends, which means I have two options:

  1. Interrupt your holiday with a fundraising email.
  2. Ask today so we can both enjoy the weekend without more of these in your inbox.

I think you’ll agree that option #2 is the better choice.

P.S. With Texas Republicans resorting to cheating their way to victory with a racially gerrymandered congressional map, we need all the help we can get to fight fire with fire and elect leaders that will protect our values and stand up to Trump’s dangerous and increasingly authoritarian agenda.

Midwest Values PAC supports candidates & causes that share our values.

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.
