I sent you an email about two things I wanted you to remember. If you didn’t read my email or don’t remember, you’re in luck because I’m going to tell you those two things again: 

  1. It’s the end-of-month fundraising deadline for Midwest Values PAC.
  2. Yesterday marked Trump’s 100th day back in office — but who’s counting? (We are. We definitely are.)

I’ll be honest with you — I was hoping by this point in my life I wouldn’t be writing emails about Donald Trump’s second term. But here we are. And if we want to stop him — and the damage he and his henchmen are doing — we have to win elections. Local ones, state ones, national ones. All of them.

I know, we’re only on day 100 of this nightmare but we don’t have to wait another 551 days for the midterms to do something. There are elections in Virginia and New Jersey this November that will need our help (and your money) to fund the campaigns and organizations doing the actual work.

P.S. Let’s make sure yesterday was the last time we ever have to mark Trump’s 100th day in office, but not nearly the last P.S. “ask” you’ll get from me.

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.
