Hi John, there’s a good chance your inbox is about to be filled with end-of-month donation requests so we’ll get right to it.

While we don’t expect you to respond to every request with a donation, we hope you’ll consider chipping in toward our May fundraising goal today. Here are three reasons why we’re asking:

1. This is not a drill: House Republicans are gearing up for a potential GOP trifecta, with members creating legislative wish lists they would fast-track if they control the House, Senate, and White House in 2025.


2. James Marter, the MAGA extremist running to unseat Lauren and flip our district red, would gladly cut our hard-earned Social Security and Medicare.


3. Our hard-won freedoms, livelihoods and futures are on the line. It’s going to take all of us working together to defend and strengthen our fundamental rights from an increasingly hostile GOP.

All this to say — the race for IL-14 and control of Congress is going to be extremely competitive — it’s vital that we stay on top of our game as the GOP fights hard and spends record sums to flip districts like IL-14 red and hold on to the House majority.

John, with just five days left to reach our May fundraising target, we hope you’ll consider pitching in to fuel our campaign to reelect Lauren and secure the House majority >>>

Thank you for keeping us moving forward.
