Hi friend, it’s Cheri Bustos — former Congresswoman in IL-17 who proudly represented this community for a decade.
As my first year since leaving office wraps up, I wanted to reach out about why your continued support for Eric Sorensen - the Democrat I endorsed as my successor - is so important.
Eric’s roots in our district run deep, and we can trust him to represent our values in Washington. In the midst of the circus in Congress he’s had a first year we can be proud of.
Once again, our district has been tabbed as ground zero in the fight over the House: Illinois 17th Congressional District is the only seat in Illinois that’s listed as competitive, and the only one national Republicans have already planned million dollar ad buys to flip.
We need to keep momentum on Eric’s side, friend. So I’m making an urgent request: will you contribute to his campaign today? He needs an extra lift before this week’s FINAL end-of-quarter deadline.
I spent five election cycles facing the media circus of our district being the true battleground seat of Illinois, so I’m sympathetic to what Eric’s going through.
I know from many tough battles that when we come together, we can rise up against the millions that national Republicans pour into IL-17 every cycle.
I’m confident that Eric has the goods to continue to deliver for our district for years – but he’s counting on contributions from supporters like you.
Eric needs your help. I’m asking you to make an urgent donation to fend off National Republican Campaign Committee attacks and keep this seat blue.
Cheri Bustos
