John --

The final FEC deadline of this election is two days away, and you deserve to know why this one is so important.

It’s our last chance to close the fundraising gap between our grassroots team and Dan Lipinski’s campaign built by corporate PACs and federal lobbyists.

Last time around, the other side went into the final three weeks of the election with about $1 million dollars more than we had—and, in spite of being dramatically outspent, we came within 2% of pulling off an incredible upset.

At the end of December, we were just over $200,000 behind, and rapidly closing the gap. We don’t need to eliminate it entirely, but the more we can chip away at Lipinski’s cash advantage, the greater our chances of victory on March 17th. Will you make a donation today, before our final FEC deadline of this primary election?

Taking away the other side’s biggest advantage would be nothing short of remarkable. In his eight terms in office, he’s built a deep-pocketed network of federal lobbyists and corporate interests that have shown they’re willing to dig deep to keep Lipinski in office.

But you all showed up for this campaign, one donation at a time. We’re 22,000 grassroots donors strong, giving an average of $41. I’m so, so proud of that.

I need to ask you to step up with a donation right now, because it matters more than ever.

Thank you for building this campaign. It’s the home stretch. Let’s go win it.

Thanks,
Marie
