John,

This campaign is 100 percent about reaching and representing the people. That’s why your support is so important - it means that we can build the campaign required to organize tens of thousands of voters and activate them for the primary election in March.

Our district - like Congressional districts throughout the nation - has been controlled by lobbyists and corporate PAC donations. Together we are saying that has got to end. We have to use our privilege to support each other and get behind the most marginalized.

I am so grateful for your support in building this team here in Illinois, especially as we rushed to close the reporting quarter strong. Thank you.

I know that we can quickly improve life for millions of Americans with bold federal legislation. We can champion education reform, criminal justice reform, an end to the war on drugs, retroactive legalization of cannabis with a focus on empowering the hardest hit communities, Medicare-for-All, a Federal Jobs Guarantee, tuition-free college and trade schools, a green new deal, and a fight to end hate and oppression.

Freedom isn’t Trump’s military parade - it is the hope and vision to take back our communities, our representation, and our voice. We fight, we win.
