This is huge news, John.

The final FEC reports of this campaign are in, and we did something incredible!

This grassroots team outraised Dan Lipinski and his special-interest allies, and we’ve closed the fundraising gap once and for all.

Now, we’re entering the home stretch on even footing -- we need to make some big budget decisions in the next few days. Will you chip in right now to make sure we ride this momentum into Election Day?

At this point in 2018, we trailed Lipinski in cash on hand by almost $1 million. They used that money to smear Marie, and they still only eked out a 2-point victory at the polls.

We won’t let that happen this time around.

But make no mistake. The other side still has every advantage that comes with being a 15-year incumbent. He’s got the name recognition and machine politics behind him. And his fundraising report shows that PACs and special interest groups are rushing in their checks to help him save his seat.

Next Tuesday, we’ll be making some big decisions about how much we can invest in our field operation in the final week of this race, and how much we can spend reaching voters with our closing argument.

Now is the time to go big and sprint to the finish line -- can you help by making a donation right now?

Thanks to you, an incredible grassroots upset is on the horizon. Now, let’s go finish the job.
