I suspect that you’ve been getting your share of urgent “end-of-quarter” emails. That’s because it’s just about the end of the quarter. And sometimes folks like you receive dire messages, like, “We’re short $12,783 to meet our goal for the quarter!”

Sometimes those numbers are just made up out of whole cloth. For example, I can tell you that Midwest Values PAC is $9,819 short of our quarterly goal, because I didn’t pick our goal until right this minute.

But you can’t send Midwest Values PAC $9,819. A $5,000 contribution is the maximum. If two of you send us $5,000, we will exceed our quarterly goal by $181! 

The point is simple. The more in the door, the more we can give out. I’ve told you many times where our money goes and the successes we’ve had over the years helping Democrats and other progressives win all around the country.

Oops! A $25 donation just came in so we’re just $9,794 under our goal! And wouldn’t you know it! Another one came in for $35.

Well, I better finish up the letter!

P.S. Thank you for your continued support. Somehow, this election seems more important than 2020, which seemed like the most important election since 1932. Or maybe since 1860. Please stay engaged through November 5th!

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.
