John,
Tomorrow is Give to the Max Day , Minnesota’s annual celebration of giving, and I’m reaching out not only as Board Chair of FairVote Minnesota, but as someone who cares deeply about the health of our democracy.
I joined FairVote Minnesota because my own eyes told me how extremism, polarization and the toxicity of our current system make it harder for communities and our state to solve real problems together.
That’s why I’m so passionate about Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) . RCV gives voters more choice, encourages candidates to extend beyond their base, treats voters with respect, and builds the broad coalitions needed to govern effectively. When leaders are elected with true majority support, they’re better positioned to address the critical issues Minnesotans care about—from affordable health care and education to jobs and community safety.
To continue this work, I’m offering a $10,000 matching gift today. Every dollar you give will be doubled , helping FairVote Minnesota expand this essential reform across our state.

Why your gift matters
Across Minnesota, we’re seeing remarkable momentum:
* Voters in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnetonka, Bloomington, and St. Louis Park continue to use RCV successfully.
* Elections this year were smoother, more civil, more competitive, and more representative—exactly what healthy democracy looks like.
* Communities are engaging more deeply, with higher turnout and voters ranking their preferences with confidence.
But we also face misinformation, coordinated opposition, and attempts to roll back progress. FairVote Minnesota is working every day to educate voters, support local leaders, and protect this vital reform and they need our partnership to keep going.
I believe Minnesota can continue to lead the nation in strengthening democracy, but it will take all of us.
Please don’t leave this gift on the table! Join me today by making a matched gift. Together, we can ensure our elections are fairer, more inclusive, and more reflective of the will of the people.
