John,

Sorry to interrupt your New Year’s Eve, but this is urgent. Our end-of-year fundraising deadline is at midnight, and I just got word that we’re still trailing behind our goal by $12,573.

I’ll say more about why it’s so important in a moment. But first, will you send a donation that works for you today to help us make up the difference?

Since I took over the Minnesota DFL Party, we’ve won every statewide election. And with the power we’ve won, we’ve passed one of the boldest and most progressive legislative agendas in the nation. 

As the late Senator Paul Wellstone used to say: “We all do better when we all do better.” And DFLers are using the power we have to make the biggest difference for as many people as we can – from providing universal meals to Minnesota students to codifying abortion rights into state law to enacting common-sense gun safety laws and so much more.

Then we look at the Republican opposition: Chaos, dysfunction, division, and hate. Their presidential frontrunner is a twice-impeached, cartoonishly corrupt insurrectionist facing more indictments than I can count.

The GOP is coming apart at the seams. But the fact is we have an extremely difficult fight ahead of us. Republicans are outraising Democrats, and multiple polls show Donald Trump running dead even with President Biden in Minnesota.

John, we cannot let abortion-banning, book-banning, union-busting, anti-democracy extremists take power in Minnesota or in Washington, D.C.

We need to give this next election everything we have – we owe it to women, to workers, to BIPOC communities, to future generations, to our LGBTQ+ community, to our democracy, and to our planet itself.

We need to dig deep and reach our end-of-year goal tonight. So many people are counting on us to hit the ground running in the New Year so we can keep Minnesota blue. Send a donation that works for you by 11:59 pm to help us get it done.

Thank you, 

Ken Martin
Chairman
Minnesota DFL
