  • From the Desk of Al Franken

As my thanks to you

First, thank you for opening this email. 

Secondly, thank you for trusting me and Midwest Values PAC. The work that we do, the money that we invest in strategic places, makes a difference.

The 2026 midterm elections couldn’t be more important to the future of our democracy. (Not to be overly dramatic). That just happens to be true.

I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving and give thanks for all the great things in your life, including Midwest Values PAC.

As my thanks to you, I’m sharing my wife Franni’s famous (in DFL circles at least!) apple pie recipe.

Thanks again,

Al

P.S. We are thankful to have four grandchildren, two of whom we will be with for Thanksgiving. Please help us keep our democracy for them and future generations. It’s that serious!

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.
