Friend,
I’m glad I could catch you before we all get ready to watch the ball drop and celebrate the new year. I know we have been in touch quite a bit this week, so I’ll get right to the point.
Tonight at midnight is the final FEC fundraising deadline of my first year in Congress. This will be the last report we submit before our March primary. We’re working hard to send a strong message about what our campaign is made of.
As it stands, we’re about $5,710 short of our quarterly goal. With just a few more grassroots contributions, we’ll be able to show real strength on this report.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask one last time: will you make a last-minute donation before midnight to help us reach our goal? Yours could be the one that puts us over the hump.

Every day in Congress is a reminder of just how critical it is that Democrats retake the House. From the weeks and months without a Speaker, to the baseless impeachment attempts, to monthly threats of our government closing, it’s clear that Republicans are moving at the mercy of the farthest-right members of their caucus.
The best way we can push back on their dangerous agenda is by relegating them back into the minority.
There are very few pathways to winning back the House without keeping Illinois’ 17th District blue. And I should add: Our fundraising goals aren’t random -- they represent the minimum amount we need to educate and engage the voters who will keep this competitive district blue.
Please chip in to send a strong message that we’re well-prepared to defend this seat. Here’s that link one more time: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/es-q4-2023
Thank you in advance, and here’s to a happy 2024.
