That Attitude of Gratitude

The holidays are a time to be grateful for all the good things in life. All of us at Midwest Values PAC are indebted to those of you who gave so that MVP could support so many Democrats and progressive independents.

Person of the Year

Once again, former and future President Donald Trump is Time magazine’s Person of the Year. That makes sense. I’m hoping against hope that next year’s Person of the Year will not be “The Deported Immigrant.”

FOR SANITY’S SAKE

Since November 5, the news has been pretty hard to watch. So far, we’ve had to process the scores of terrible Trump nominees for various positions in his administration, each one worse than the next.

Wound Licking

In many ways this election cycle was Midwest Values PAC’s most successful. We raised more from more contributors than ever before and were able to support more candidates, state parties, Democratic organizations and ground-game operations than we had ever supported in the past.

Your Job Today

I know you voted early. Or voted this morning. Or are going to vote later today. Just make sure you get all your Democratic friends and relatives to vote.

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.

DONATE HERE

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.
