It “will be wild.” That’s what Donald Trump told his supporters about his January 6, 2021, rally in Washington. And he was right. The rally was on the Ellipse, but he told the crowd to go to the Capitol and to “fight like hell.” And they did. Oh, and please remember that he waited three hours to tell his crowd to go home and that “we love you.”

Some thought this final act of his presidency would prove to be his last, yet three years later, we are facing the possibility of a second Trump term. 

So why am I writing this email to you? Because next January 6th, we will know who won the 2024 election. Let’s make sure it’s not Trump.

It’s time for Democrats to commit to doing whatever we can to prevent Trump from taking office. While we’re at it, let’s elect Democrats up and down the ticket, too. 

Please help me help candidates across the country! From state legislatures that are in play, to taking the House back and holding the Senate, to securing the fate of our democracy and re-electing President Biden.

Let’s do it so 2025 will be a happy New Year.

P.S. Oh, yeah. Happy New Year.

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.
