John,

When my great grandfather came to Minnesota, he believed in the promise of America, that every citizen could have a voice.

He didn’t live to see me sworn in as Secretary of State, but I think about him every time I stand up to protect our elections.

That’s why President Trump’s latest outburst matters. Calling to abolish mail-in ballots isn’t just an ignorant rant; it’s a direct attack on the people I serve: Minnesotans who count on safe, secure, accessible voting.

But if we don’t push back—if we don’t have the resources to counter the disinformation—we risk losing everything we’ve built. Can I count on you to stand with me?

✅ We’ve fought hard to make voting easier and fairer.

✅ We’ve expanded access while strengthening security.

✅ We’ve proven that high turnout and strong safeguards can coexist.

Every dollar we raise right now helps us get the truth out, defend the freedom to vote, and protect Minnesota from President Trump’s power grab. Will you join us right now?

With gratitude,

Steve
