John,

The entry of Mike Lindell (the pillow guy) into the governor’s race guarantees one thing: Minnesota is about to face a surge of election disinformation.

❌He has a long, documented history of making false claims about voting machines.

❌ He has promoted individuals convicted of tampering with election equipment.

❌He has used his platform to undermine trust in the 2020 election, even after courts rejected every claim.

And now he wants to take that message statewide.

That’s why we need to show strength. Will you chip in $10 or more today to help us fight disinformation and protect the truth?

Here’s what makes this moment so serious:

• Lindell told The New York Times he will not back down from his false claims

• Those claims will be central to his campaign

• He repeatedly pushes the idea that voting machines are rigged

• And he says he wants “control” of election equipment — which is legally impossible and dangerous

This is why Steve’s work matters so much.

Minnesota ranks among the top states in voter turnout and election security because we rely on facts, not conspiracy theories.

We’ve already seen what happens when national disinformation campaigns take root. We cannot let that happen here.

If you believe Minnesota deserves leaders who defend democracy, not tear it down, we’re asking you to donate today.

Team Simon
