John — we’re just a few days away from our first monthly fundraising deadline, and I wanted to explain why this one is important. If you don’t need to hear anything else and are ready to pitch in a grassroots contribution, I’d be grateful for your support.

Here’s the deal: Donald Trump is back in the White House with GOP majorities in the House and Senate. He’s already gotten to work on an extreme agenda that targets the diversity initiatives of the Biden-Harris Administration and protections for our LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities.

I’m laser-focused on protecting marginalized groups and delivering for the people across Illinois’ 14th. Whether I’m in D.C. or at home here in Illinois, you can rest assured that I’m fighting for your rights, to lower costs, and to make a difference for us all.

But I’ll be honest: if we don’t meet our fundraising goals, that means my team and I have to work harder on fundraising, which pulls us away from doing the really important work.

So please, if you’re able to pitch in before Friday’s deadline, I’d be personally grateful for your support.

Thanks for everything.
