Hey there, it's Nikki. I wanted to pass along this message from my friend, Lauren Underwood, running for reelection nextdoor in Iliniois' 14th District.

I’m unafraid to call it how I see it:

My opponent, Jim Marter, is a self-serving extremist MAGA Republican who lacks the courage, compassion, and ability to lead. Period.

I’m also unafraid to meet the needs of working families in IL-14 and nationwide with the urgency, tenacity, empathy, and resourcefulness required.

I understand the gravity of the position I hold and I take my duty to the people seriously. That’s why you don’t see me trying to start fights on the House floor or force ideological conspiracies for political gain.

Extreme MAGA Republicans like Jim Marter are simply not up for the job. I am personally asking for your support today. Could you split a donation between Nikki Budzinski and me to help us defeat the dangerous MAGA agenda?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through to Nikki Budzinski and Lauren Underwood immediately:

We are a team with a shared vision and deep belief in our ability to make life better for working families across our district.

But our work to protect our democracy and pass transformative legislation for working families will be in jeopardy if we don’t lay the groundwork now to defend our progress. Every day that we don’t step up is another day for Republicans to make gains.

Since this is a people-powered movement we’re relying on grassroots supporters like you who chip in what they can, when they can — not shady special interests. Please split a donation between Nikki Budzinski and me to help us win!

Thanks for being on this team, and for doing what you can to support this movement.

Warmly,

Lauren
