I'll be direct, team.
In this email, I’m going to ask you to chip in $5 or more towards our first FEC fundraising deadline of 2024. We just got a concerning update, so I hope you'll let me spell out why your support is so important.
Elections analysts at the Daily Kos confirmed that I'm the only Democrat in Illinois facing a difficult re-election in 2024. They note that despite this being a Democratic district, it has slowly been "trending to the right."
Folks, this changes nothing about what I’m doing on the ground. We’re still laser-focused on the issues impacting Central and Northwestern Illinois -- easing the cost of living, creating well-paying jobs, improving healthcare outcomes and more.
But the fact is we know national Republicans are going to spend millions to unseat me. As a freshman member, I'm the most vulnerable I'll ever be, which means we need to start the year strong with a firewall of grassroots support.
If you can, please chip in $5 or more today. Every dollar helps communicate our message in the face of Republican attacks.

Thanks for your support,
- Eric
