Friend,

Today I get to kick off my second session of Congress. It’s a new year, a new Speaker holding the gavel, but unfortunately a lot looks the same as last year.

The GOP has never wanted to solve the problems that are most effective for their own campaigns. I’ve known this, I experienced this my first year, and some of their colleagues across the aisle have even said so out loud.

But I’m not going to stop fighting for Illinois’ 17th Congressional District and for what’s right, period. For this session, and with your support when Democrats retake the House majority.

And unlike too many Congressional Republicans, I will always sincerely value the feedback of my supporters and constituents. So I wanted to ask you, friend: what issues do you want to see us fight for first in this Congress?

With another shutdown looming, and a host of urgent issues that need our focus, I want to hear from you about what we need to prioritize. Can you fill out our priorities survey to let me know what’s on your mind?

I value the input of my constituents and supporters, and I’m not relying on pundits and polls to identify the issues folks care about. Your ideas – on surveys like this one – help me understand what folks in IL-17 and across the country are thinking about so I can better serve you in Congress. Some may call that apolitical. I call it common sense!

So please, it takes less than 5 minutes. Let us know your thoughts -- I’d really appreciate it.

Again, I can't thank you enough for your ongoing support. You are making this work possible.
