John,

We can’t say it better than this:

That’s right -- The Nation, one of America’s most legendary progressive publications, just put IL-03 at the very top of their list of 2020’s most important races for progressives.

People across the country are watching what happens here, because so much is at stake -- not just for our community, but for the future of this movement. Don’t take it from us. The Nation writes:

“While the improvement from Lipinski to Newman will be vast, this election is bigger than one house seat.… This is a fight that will have lasting implications on the relationship between the Democratic base and the party leaders, and on what it means to be a Democrat.”

We only have two weeks to reach as many voters as we can and make sure everyone knows the stakes. We fell just 2% short last time around -- will you chip in and help make sure that doesn’t happen again?

Thank you,

Team Marie
