John,

In these uncertain times, we’re grateful for everyone who has stepped up to take care of their neighbors and serve their communities – from health care workers to public officials, teachers, business and community leaders, to our friends and family members. We will continue to do everything we can to support those who are on the front lines of this crisis.

As our candidates up and down the ballot navigate uncharted waters in an election year that couldn’t be more critical, the need for our DFL grassroots organizing power has never been greater.

We’re working around the clock to make sure essential party activities can continue throughout the state without putting anyone at risk (see Chairman Ken Martin’s update on that here). And the fact is, because we’ve had to cancel all in-person fundraisers for the foreseeable future, we need your support now more than ever.

Here's the reality: Given how this crisis will impact our economy, we are expecting a significant loss of revenue in the coming months that will impact our ability to win crucial elections up and down the ballot this fall. That’s just the honest truth.

Our entire budget – from our staff, field offices, and voter identification program to the immediate changes we need to make to enhance our digital organizing capabilities across the board – depends on the resources we can raise right now.

Will you please consider giving $10, $25, $50 or whatever works for you today to help us make it through these tough times and put our DFL Party in a position to win this fall?

Minnesota is still a must-win state for Democrats this November. We cannot afford to wait. In every way possible, we need to focus on where our actions can make a positive impact.

Together, we can end the chaos of the Trump administration. We can regain the majority in the Minnesota Senate and increase our House majority to support Governor Tim Walz. We can re-elect Senator Tina Smith, Congresswoman Angie Craig, and Congressman Dean Phillips; and we can win back the First and Eighth Congressional Districts to build on our majority in Congress.

Now more than ever, our state and entire country need leadership we can depend on. Please make a contribution that works for you today so we can keep pushing through.

Thank you,

Minnesota DFL
