Last night, in a dark corner of the NRCC’s offices, an intern anxiously refreshed the FEC website until our official third-quarter campaign finance report finally went live.

Well, the cat’s officially out of the bag, folks: you, me, my team, and every GOP operative, right-wing pundit, and potential opponent can see exactly where we stand.

I’m very proud of our report. It shows that we have dedicated grassroots supporters, a thriving digital program, and critically, that the majority of contributions to our campaign come from small-dollar donors right here in Illinois.

All that is indicative of a healthy campaign preparing to take on the MAGA money machine and all its shady benefactors.

So first of all, thank you. Thank you for reading our emails, contributing, and standing up for our shared values. The success of this report rests on your shoulders.

Second of all, we need to work together to do it again in the final quarter of the year.

Tonight’s Mid-Month deadline is our very first fundraising benchmark of the quarter. So, can I count on you to chip in $10, $25, or more before midnight to keep our campaign running strong?

Gratefully,
Sean Casten
