Hi friend, it’s Cheri Bustos -- former Congresswoman in IL-17 who proudly represented this community for a decade.
I wanted to reach out about why your continued support for Eric Sorensen - the Democrat I endorsed as my successor - is so important.
Eric’s roots in our district run deep, and we can trust him to represent our values in Washington. Against a barrage of personal attacks, attacks on our workers, and general Washington dysfunction, he’s continued to serve us in a way we can be proud of.
Once again, our district has been tabbed as ground zero in the fight over the House: Illinois 17th Congressional District remains the most competitive seat in Illinois, and one in which the opposing party has already started financing ad buys.
We need to keep momentum on Eric’s side, friend. So I’m making an urgent request: will you contribute $3 to his campaign today? He needs an extra lift before this cycle’s FIRST end-of-quarter deadline.
I spent five election cycles facing the media circus of our district being the true battleground seat of Illinois, so I understand what Eric’s going through.
I know from many tough battles that when we come together, we can rise up against the millions the opposing party pours into IL-17 every cycle.
I’m confident that Eric has the goods to continue to deliver for our district for years – but he’s counting on contributions from supporters like you.
Eric needs your help. I’m asking you to make an urgent $3 donation to fend off the attacks and keep this seat blue.
Cheri Bustos
