the ISSUES

What we're figthing for

where we stand

Jobs & Families

We believe in creating good jobs that pay fair wages, and in the existence strong economic safety net will help keep families afloat during tough economic times.

Health care

We believe that health care is a right and not a privilege, that patients should have the power in our health care system, and that no American should go bankrupt because they get sick or die because they can’t afford care.

Education

We believe that education is one of the smartest investments we can make in an increasingly competitive global economy. We believe in funding early childhood education and that every neighborhood should have a strong public school. 

Energy

We believe that our dependence on foreign oil is an economic and national security risk, and that clean American energy represents an enormous opportunity.

Financial Reform

We believe in accountability for Wall Street, transparency in our financial markets, and basic protections for American consumers.

Equality

We believe that, in America, who you are shouldn’t determine what you can do – in school, at work, or in our society.

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.
