John — we’re less than 48 hours away from our first monthly fundraising deadline of the new quarter. We wanted to explain why this one is so important, but if you don’t need to hear anything else and are ready to pitch in a grassroots contribution, Lauren would be grateful for your support.

Here’s the deal: With Donald Trump back in the White House and GOP majorities in the House and Senate, keeping our momentum has never been more crucial. The other side wants nothing more than to exhaust us with concerning headlines, but we can’t give up on what’s on the line.

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

But to be honest, if we don’t meet our fundraising goals, that means we’ll have to put more time into fundraising, which pulls Lauren away from doing the really important work.

So please, if you’re able to pitch in before tomorrow’s deadline, Lauren would be personally grateful for your support.
