Why I’m asking for $32:

As you no doubt know, Arizona’s Supreme Court resurrected an abortion ban from 1864 (before it was a state!) that bans all abortions with an exception for the life of the mother. (Generous of them.)

Kris Mayes, Arizona’s attorney general, says she will not prosecute women or doctors for abortions. Mayes was elected by a margin of just 280 votes, which is 32 less than my margin in 2008.

This tells you how meaningful every vote, and every dollar, is in elections. I hope you could see to it to contribute just $32 to Midwest Values PAC so we can help candidates around the country and especially in battleground states like Arizona.

Thanks!

P.S. MVP supports only pro-choice candidates. Of course. And Democrats (or independents who caucus with Democrats). Of course.

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.
