  • From the Desk of Al Franken

“Thanks, Al. You’re the best!”

I’m pretty sure you’ve received a few “end of quarter” or “end of year” or, if you’re old enough “end of century” emails asking for support for one thing or another.

Hi, this is me, Ashley. As you may recall, from time to time, I interrupt Al’s emails to differentiate his fundraising asks from others. Al seems to think that people like getting emails from him. But especially when folks like you are swamped with end-of-year asks, I (Ashley) think it’s refreshing to hear from me instead of Al.

It’s still Ashley. As you know, Midwest Values PAC is my favorite political action committee.  That’s because they invest wisely in key races around the country and in ground-game operations in key battleground states. That’s why I, Ashley (not Al), am asking you to donate before 2023 comes to a close.

It’s back to me, Al. Thanks, Ashley!

You’re welcome, Al. What you are doing is so important!

Ashley, I would tell people what YOU do, but I know you like your privacy.

Thanks, Al. You’re the best!

Al

P.S. Ashley here again. Years ago, Al invented the convention of always adding a P.S. in his emails so he could make yet another “ask.” Won’t you reward him and MVP with a $25 donation? Thanks!

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.
