don’t mess with bonus moms

Hi John – JD Vance, much like President Trump, doesn’t view women as people. In his opinion, we are just birthing vessels for providing him with kids. And if we don’t accomplish that purpose, we’re miserable and have no direct stake in America. I’ve got news for him. If we can organize a Thank…

Crop Art Preview!

Hi John – It’s almost that time of year again! With the State Fair just around the corner, Julie is hard at work with her most recent crop art creations. We’re hoping you’ll join us for our annual Crop Art Preview and fundraiser! We’re gathering this year on August 14th at the Twin Cities 400 …

Selfless Patriotism

Hi John – What we saw today was an act of selfless patriotism. He put our country ahead of his own ambitions for a second term, officially ending his lifetime of service to America in six months. Thank you, Mr. President. I’m absolutely stoked to be out on the campaign trail for our next Pres…

stopped in our tracks

Hi John – If you haven’t noticed, Minnesota is on a roll. Our unemployment rate is just 2.8%, we were just ranked the sixth best state in the country for business, and Minneapolis was ranked the happiest city in the US. The Governor and State Legislature have been making the right moves to ma…

women’s rights are on the ballot

Hi John – We’ve been talking all weekend about what’s at stake with Trump on the ballot again, and we can’t take for granted what this guy and his allies want to do to women’s rights. He’s already put in place a Supreme Court majority that overturned Roe v. Wade. We see his allies in red state…

never again

Hi John – We’re working hard to turnout Democrats this fall and we need your help. America is on the precipice of reelecting Donald Trump, he’s now leading in a number of key swing states and within the margin of error in Minnesota. That means we have to double down on our efforts: knock twic…

Four Months to Go

Hi John – We have just about four months to go until Election Day 2024 is here. While I’m not on the ballot this fall, I’m going to be out campaigning just like I am. Maybe even harder. Here’s what’s at stake: We’ve got great Democrats running for the U.S. House across the state who need our …

RE: they should be embarrassed

Hi John – I wanted to be sure you saw the note about Royce White, the guy the Minnesota GOP put up for the US Senate this year. It’s more than just him though, his nomination is emblematic of the extreme candidates the Minnesota GOP is putting up across Minnesota. Not convinced? They’re all st…

they should be embarrassed

Hi John – There’s a lot of things that’d I’d do differently than the Minnesota GOP. I won’t bore you with the entire list, but needless to say, it’s a pretty long list. But one thing that really stands out is MN GOP's nomination of Royce White for US Senate. Now if you haven’t heard, I’ll giv…

ew.

Hi John – I just saw the news that Donald Trump is headed to Minnesota to headline the MN GOP’s annual fundraising dinner. All I have to say is ew. Just a few years ago it’d be unimaginable for either party to invite someone of this low moral fiber to headline an event, but here we are. It’…

big surprise

Hi John – I hope you saw Chris’ email yesterday. If not, let me get you up to speed. Julie’s birthday is tomorrow and we want to surprise her with a day off from campaign work – but that means we need to get ahead on fundraising. Can we count on you to help? Your donations will keep Julie fight…

shhhh… it’s a surprise

Hi John – I need your help with a surprise for Julie’s birthday on Thursday. She works hard everyday to safeguard our public funds during the day and to elect Democrats across the state on nights and weekends. Literally, she never stops! That’s why I need your help. I want to get a little bit…

Hi John – This week's showdown between students and three ultra-conservative school board members in the Anoka-Hennepin School District showed just how powerful collective action can be. After the conservative board members announced their plans to hold the budget hostage to roll back protecti…

FWD: Let’s do it

Hi John – I wanted to be sure you saw Julie’s email because she nails what the upcoming election is all about. We can’t let 2016 be repeated. Make a contribution today to help keep Julie crisscrossing the state making sure that Democrats show up to beat Trump and his cronies at the polls this y…

A Complete Ban

Hi John – Arizona’s Supreme Court revived an 1864 total ban on abortion in that state earlier this month, and the GOP is still celebrating. If they got what they wanted, that ban would already be on it’s way to Minnesota. Some in the GOP realize it’s politically unpopular and are trying to di…

Trivia night!

Hi John – OK, so this email is about something that’s actually going to be fun! Nothing about protecting abortion rights (which is important), Trump winning back the White House (a disaster!), or anything else even really political. I’m hosting a DFL Trivia night fundraiser at the end of this …

need you in on this

Hi John – I wanted to check in one last time before our first deadline of the year. We’re going to be filing our first finance report of 2024 and I need you on it. With so much up for grabs, and Trump on the ballot this fall, it’s crucial that Democrats everywhere show they’re ready to do what …

First deadline

Hi John – Julie’s first deadline of 2024 is coming up tomorrow at midnight. I don’t need to tell you that Democrats have to have a big showing at this deadline. With Trump on the ballot AGAIN this fall, and every seat in the state house up for grabs, Julie will be working overtime this year to…

make a donation, get a refund!

Hi John – For those of us who believe in grassroots powered campaigns, this was a huge year. The state of Minnesota increased its PCR rebate program from $50 to $75. This means Minnesotans can give our favorite state level candidate (obviously me!) up to $75 per person and the state will refun…

national abortion ban?

John – As I’m crisscrossing the state, working hard to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, it’s a whole lot of fun to see familiar faces. One I've seen all over southern Minnesota over the past few years has been Rachel Bohman. That’s why I am so excited that she is running for Congress i…

did you see this poll?

John – I wanted to be sure you saw Julie’s last email with the latest Survey USA/KSTP Poll. It was good news for our statewide and metro DFLers, but we have to win seats in Greater Minnesota to keep the House majority. This is why Julie is hard at work helping to elect Democrats and fire up ou…

this is why I work so hard!

John – If you didn’t see yesterday morning’s KSTP/Survey USA poll, let me fill you in. While city and suburban DFLers are in good shape, Republicans lead us by nearly 25% in greater MN. Can we keep the trifecta with just city and suburban seats? Maybe… but I don’t want to find out. That’s wh…

John – Our February deadline is at midnight tonight, and we’re hoping that we can count on your help! We’re about $1,500 short of our goal for the month and hoping you can help us close the gap. Every dollar you give goes to helping Julie rally DFLers across the state toward victories in Nove…

protect the trifecta

John – With control of the House and the Senate, and Governor Walz’s leadership, progressives in Minnesota have been able to accomplish A LOT over the past year. There’s still more to do and we must protect our gains. Even one year of GOP control could undo much of the progress Minnesota has m…

$75 refundable contribution!

John – Did you know that the PCR went up to $75 this year? That means that Minnesotans can make a contribution of up to $75 to Julie’s campaign and the state will refund you for 100% of it. It’s how we keep the big money at bay in Minnesota elections and encourage grassroots support. But it d…

caucus like your rights depend on it (they do)

Protect Abortion

John – Abortion rights are under attack across the country. There’s no question that the GOP is dead set on banning abortion wherever they have power. Women in Minnesota are safe, for now. If the GOP regains power in Minnesota, the first thing they’d do is ban abortion. That’s why I’m hoping…

yikes!

John – Trump’s win in NH on Tuesday pretty much sealed it. He’s almost certainly going to be the GOP candidate for president again this year. He’s promised that if he’s the candidate, GOP money will flood into Minnesota. He’s committed to winning our state. We can’t let that happen, and we ca…

weigh in now!

make abortion a right

John – After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Minnesota became an island in the Upper Midwest – the only state that didn’t enact draconian limitations on abortions. Minnesotans favor this by a wide margin, but the GOP has other plans. They aim to severely limit abortions here like nearly all of our…
