Friends,

I want to take a moment to say thank you.

Because of support from folks like you, we met our end-of-quarter goal and begin the final quarter of this year in the best position to continue making progress for working families across Central and Southern Illinois.

I know that emails from myself or my team asking for a dollar or two may seem like they won’t do much to power our work, but when you add up the $1, $5, or even $10 contributions from everyone who chips in, the impact can be huge.

It’s a true testament to grassroots power, and it’s why I was able to flip this seat last year and hit the ground running to work across the aisle to champion legislation like the Increasing Land Access, Security, and Opportunities Act to invest in underserved and beginning farmers.

Although the next few months will be busy, I know we can overcome any challenge and keep up this momentum together.

Thank you for being with me in this fight.

— Nikki
