We all do better when we all do better
The words above are those of the late Senator Paul Wellstone, Al’s friend and political hero. Throughout Al’s time running for and serving in public office, Paul’s life, causes, and words have served as the bedrock for his vision of what it means to be a progressive Democrat.
Our Mission & Mandate
For over 15 years, Midwest Values PAC has supported progressive Democrats — from legislatures to Congress — who share our values. These are our values: We believe in economic and social justice, in the importance of education and the potential of clean energy, in accountability for the powerful and opportunity for everyone. We believe that elections offer a clear choice between two competing sets of values. And we believe that our values are worth fighting for.
We'd Take You to Our leader but all we've got is Al
The only former or active United States Senator who’s also an original writer for “Saturday Night Live” with five Emmys, two Grammys, and four #1 New York Times bestsellers.
