John,

Four years ago, our democracy faced an unimaginable test. Today, I want to take a moment to reflect not only on the challenges of that time but on the progress we’ve made since.

In the 2024 election, Minnesota led the way with record-breaking turnout and elections that were fair, accurate, honest, and secure.

Thanks to the efforts of tens of thousands of election workers across the state, Minnesotans came together to ensure our voices were heard and our democracy remained strong.

But the work to protect democracy doesn’t end.

We face ongoing challenges, from disinformation campaigns to threats against election workers. If we want to continue building on our success, we must:

– Safeguard the freedom to vote for every eligible voter.
– Push back against dangerous election disinformation.
– Ensure our election workers are protected and safe from threats and harassment.

John, democracy is never guaranteed—it’s something we have to work for every day. That’s why I’m asking you to stand with me as we prepare for the work ahead in 2025 and beyond. Can I count on you to make your first contribution of the year to help us protect the progress we’ve made and push forward?

Together, we’ve shown the nation how elections should be done. Let’s keep Minnesota at the forefront of democracy.

Thank you for standing with me,

Steve
