John,
When Paul Wellstone first ran for the Senate, he was a college professor with big ideas and a beat-up bus running against a powerful, well-funded incumbent. He won because he had a team of fantastic organizers who engaged their friends, neighbors, and communities.
Like Paul’s, our victories in November were not by chance. We had an army of incredible volunteers and organizers in every corner of the state working 24/7 to beat back against the extreme Republican agenda — all funded by thousands and thousands of small, grassroots donations. People power is truly the backbone of the DFL.
That’s why today, I am honored to announce the launch of Wellstone Academy to build on our historic success in 2022 and train the next generation of Minnesotans who will re-elect President Biden, re-elect Senator Amy Klobuchar, re-elect our congressional delegation, and sustain our DFL House Majority in 2024.
I learned from Senator Paul Wellstone that the best way to win elections is door-to-door and neighbor-to-neighbor, and that still holds true to this day. Wellstone Academy Fellows will go through an intensive 32-week training curriculum designed by top trainers and campaign experts from around the nation.
To get this program off on a strong start, we need 1,000 founding donors to pitch in by Friday. Will you donate today to become a founding donor of Wellstone Academy?
