Concerning update, friend:

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) just leaked a brand-new polling memo to Politico showing IL-17 in a dead heat.

This race is going to be close, friend, and we need your help to pull ahead – especially with our FEC deadline closing in. Can you chip in $10 or more today to help Eric gain an edge in this tied race?

Here’s what is really going on:

This year, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson came out and said his chances of keeping power all-but hinge on defeating Eric in IL-17. That's why his flagship super PAC is gearing up to spend millions in swing districts like ours.

Now, he and his allies are leaking this poll as a way to signal to big GOP donors that Eric is vulnerable. We’re not kidding when we say how we react is going to determine the outcome of this race.

We don't need millions in special interests cash, but we do know the absolute best way to stop the GOP is with overwhelming grassroots support. That’s where you come in:

It’s a dead heat, friend. Help Eric pull ahead by chipping in a contribution of $10 or more. Let’s send a message that IL-17 is staying blue.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

$10	$35
$50	$100
$250	Other

Thank you,

Eric Sorensen HQ
