Team,

I’ll get right to it: I’ve got some good news and some concerning news to share.

First, the positive: We’ve built some incredible momentum leading into Election Day.

Fundraising reports from last quarter are now public, and we just got word that we outraised my opponent, Joe McGraw! This is a big deal, especially considering how we did it: Since announcing our campaign to keep IL-17 blue, thousands of individual donors have chipped in an average donation under $100 to help us do it.

Now for the bad news…

Despite outraising McGraw, we're still being outspent on TV when you factor in the dark-money super PACs operating in our community – running vicious attack ads against me.

YOU (yes you, friend) have helped us keep pace with Mike Johnson and his far-right super PAC. We have a strong chance of winning, but we can't take anything for granted. Not right now.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for our campaign so far. With Joe McGraw and his far-right allies ramping up the attacks, I’m hoping you can chip in a contribution of $10 or more to keep our momentum going.

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

$5	$10
$35	$50
$100	Other

Thanks in advance for chipping in.
