Many people among us are facing financial hardship right now, so if you cannot afford to give today — that’s okay. If you’d like to hit pause on these emails while this crisis is at its worst, just let us know here. We are grateful to have you on Team Underwood. Thank you!

John, this just got real, and I wanted to personally inform you first: Our self-funding, Republican opponent was just named one of the NRCC’s “Young Guns.”

Here’s what that means: the NRCC thinks that our opponent has a strong chance to unseat Lauren, and turn our district back to red in November. As a “Young Gun,” he’ll have millions of dollars at his disposal to launch baseless attack ads against Lauren.

WWe saw hundreds of thousands of dollars in outside spending in our primary, and we can bet that we’ll see millions going into November. We have to be prepared.

Here’s how you can help: if just 4 people in your neighborhood pitch in $5 tonight, we’ll hit our $20,000 May goal, and be on track to continue outraising our opponent. Chip in tonight:

CHIP IN $5 CHIP IN $25 CHIP IN $50 CHIP IN $100

This November, we’ll be voting on our values. And Lauren is the first representative in years who truly represents the values we share here in the 14th.

Our ability to make healthcare more affordable, preserve our planet for future generations, and address the gun violence epidemic depends on holding our Democratic House majority and electing leaders who will fight for a system that works for everyone.

Your contribution will keep Lauren in Congress working on the issues that make a difference for Illinois families. Can you chip in anything you can today to keep Lauren fighting for our values in Washington?

Thank you so much! I hope you’re staying safe and healthy.
