"Hi it's Tim Walz here, Governor of Minnesota. Will you make a donation today to help elect Democratic governors across the country?" - Tim Walz

Hey, – it’s Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota.

I never expected to write an email like this. But Donald Trump’s Department of Justice just opened an investigation into me – not because I broke the law, but because I refused to stay silent when Minnesotans demanded accountability and answers.

Let me be clear: this investigation does not seek justice. It is a partisan distraction designed to intimidate governors who stand up for their people.

Team, fights like this won’t be cheap, and this is why we need you. In this critical moment, if you're with us, please rush a split donation between the DGA and our Legal Fund to ensure we can keep fighting for accountability, transparency, and justice.

DONATE NOW

After Trump’s escalation of force in Minnesota, my focus was exactly where it should be: protecting the people of this state, not protecting myself. Families are scared. Kids are afraid to go to school. Small businesses are hurting. That's where the energy of the federal government should be directed – not political retaliation.

Donald Trump wants chaos – and he’s using the DOJ as a weapon to create it. But Minnesota will not be intimidated into silence, and neither will I.

Team, MAGA Republicans can come after me, lie about me on social media, and do whatever else they want – but when they hurt the people of Minnesota to score political points, that crosses a line.

I may have stepped out of my own race, but I am all-in on this fight – because governors are the last line of defense against Trump’s harmful agenda.

In November, when 36 gubernatorial races are up for election, and 80% of Americans are casting ballots for governor, if we are going to win, we need you on our side. We need Democrats nationwide to step up now and join us in sending an unmistakable message to Donald Trump and the GOP.

That’s why we need you with us now. Chip in 3 or whatever you can before midnight tonight split between the DGA and our Legal Fund. By standing together, we’ll ensure that our Dem govs have the resources to push back against attacks on our rights and freedoms, and to keep fighting for what’s right.

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between DGA and DGA Legal Fund will go through immediately.

Tim Walz
Governor of Minnesota

As Governor of Minnesota, former Chair of the Democratic Governors Association, and 2024 Vice Presidential nominee, Tim Walz has always fought for the bright future all Americans deserve.

As Governor, he’s delivered real results for working families – expanding free school meals, paid family and medical leave, and codifying reproductive rights. Although he is no longer running for re-election, he continues his work moving Minnesota forward, stopping GOP efforts to take us backward, and fighting for our shared future. But he can’t do it alone.

Will you answer his call to action and be one of the first supporters to split $3 between his campaign and the DGA today?
