That Attitude of Gratitude

The holidays are a time to be grateful for all the good things in life. All of us at Midwest Values PAC are indebted to those of you who gave so that MVP could support so many Democrats and progressive independents. Some of our candidates won and some lost. And, of course, the end results in Congress and the White House were not what we hoped for.

On top of that, the endless string of disturbing cabinet nominations and appointments are not something we are grateful for. And perhaps not something to focus on this holiday season. But this is a time when we can rest and regroup so we can attend to the fight in the new year. 

We hope you have a happy holiday season with friends and family, and we’ll get on your case come January!

P.S. The upcoming holidays may be the first large family gatherings since the election, and maybe a sibling or uncle or in-law doesn’t share your political point of view. This might be a good time to talk about everything you have in common. Like your grandfather who escaped persecution from the Czar. Or maybe something less Jewish than me.

P.P.S. With Trump back in the White House, it’s going to get really real, really fast. If you’re ready to jump back in right now and want to give a few bucks, I’m not going to stop you.

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.
