John, 

As November 5 approaches, let's remember that every election — big or small — has a huge impact. Local and down-ballot races shape our daily lives just as much as top-ticket elections. State attorneys general, state lawmakers, and governors play critical roles in defending our rights and passing laws that affect our communities directly.

Here in IL-14, local governments impact education, health care access, workers' rights, and even police reform. City councils pass key regulations that drive equity and community renewal. Our state lawmakers influence laws around reproductive freedom and voting access, and governors shape important statewide policies.

The Senate's role in confirming federal judges and agency leaders, and the House's part in drafting crucial laws, also directly affect us here in the 14th district.

Whether local, state, or federal, every election is critical in strengthening the movement for working families. This is directly tied to the urgent need to win the House, the Senate, and the presidency. It’s evident now, more than ever, that we can’t afford to overlook any election or underestimate the importance of every contribution.

John, we need a united victory across the board. Every win, from township to presidency, matters. Your participation and support means investing in a future that embodies our values. By donating today, you help ensure a brighter future led by Democrats who are ready to build on their progress for the people. Let's come together and lead the way for IL-14 and beyond. Pitch in what you can to help us reach our August goal >>>

Together, we have the power to elevate Democrats, bolster democracy, and create a society where every individual is respected and valued.

Let’s rally and make sure every supporter knows their participation is key and we need to act now. The stakes are higher than ever — pitch in today ahead of our end-of-month deadline!
