Friend,

I know in my heart that there are way more good people than bad. And that our best days as Americans are when we work together to solve problems, not rip each other apart over our differences.

But right now, it’s our worst who have the microphone, and they’re trying to make us pick-and-choose what values to protect, and who to protect.

We cannot allow this rhetoric to become normalized in our country. We have to always keep focus on the ones doing the work, not those yelling the loudest.

Everyone must stand up against this.

I'm in Congress to bridge the gaps of hate and create change, but the truth is we're already getting pummeled by National Republicans seeking to divide our community using nasty, misleading attacks. IL-17 will be the tightest race in Illinois, and I could use your help to keep the forces of good in this swing seat.

We’re aiming to raise $10,000 in online donations by the end of February to not get drowned out by the forces of hate. If we meet our monthly goals, our FEC numbers will send a clear message about the strength behind our movement.

With this deadline looming, I'm hoping I can count on you to donate $3 to power our campaign for good. Any amount sends an important message about the future we are striving for and believe in.

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

Thank you,

- Eric
