John,

My opponent spends a lot of his time attacking me -- trying to make me out as some kind of extremist and arguing that my policy positions will destroy life as we know it. They’re trying to scare people out of voting for me.

If these lines of attack sound familiar to you, that’s because we’ve been hearing them hurled at progressives from the Trump White House for years. It’s no mistake that Dan Lipinski shares President Trump’s message. They share a lot of the same values, too -- on health care, a woman’s right to choose, and immigration.

This district deserves a lot better than to be represented by a Democrat who keeps parroting Republican talking points.

There are just 12 days left in this election, and we’ll need to make some big budget decisions by Tuesday to decide our plans for the final week of this campaign. Will you chip in before that deadline to help make those decisions a little bit easier?

How we respond to the other side’s fear mongering will come down to how much we can raise in the next few days.

Unlike my opponent, I can’t count on corporate PACs and D.C. lobbyists to come to my rescue. I’m counting on you.

So I’m coming to you directly: Chip in if you can before our campaign’s budget deadline.

Thanks. Now let’s get to work!

Marie
