John,

When I became Minnesota’s Secretary of State, I made a promise: to defend your right to vote and to protect your privacy.

That promise is being tested like never before.

The Trump Department of Justice has demanded that Minnesota turn over personal data on millions of voters — from Social Security numbers to driver’s license information. They’re even suing me for refusing to hand it over.

Let me be clear: I will follow the law, and I will not compromise your privacy.

But standing up to this kind of overreach takes resources. Will you chip in $10, $25, or whatever you can to help me keep defending Minnesotans’ data and democracy itself?

We already maintain one of the most secure, transparent, and accurate election systems in the nation. There is no justification for this kind of federal intrusion — none.

This fight could drag on for months, and it’s critical that our campaign shows strength right now.

I’ve spent my career protecting your right to vote. Now I need your help to protect the rule of law and your privacy. Please join me in this fight by chipping in $5 or $10 this week.

Thank you,

Steve
