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…

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…

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 – 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…
