I refuse to be “the Congressman who cried wolf.”

Unlike those screeching subject lines filling your inbox, you won’t get any B.S. about 8,000% matches and zillion-dollar fundraising goals from me.

There’s enough horror in our newsfeeds every day; I don’t need to add to it.

Instead, I pride myself on being “the Congressman who keeps it real.”

A campaign is a partnership, and good partnerships aren’t built on lies and hysterics. They’re built on mutual trust.

I’ve relied on your support to get me through four tough campaigns, and you’ve entrusted me to do this job with decency and integrity.

I take that trust very seriously. So, in the spirit of honesty, I’m not going to claim that your donation will single-handedly evict our Oval Office occupant or repair our deeply divided nation.

I am claiming that your grassroots dollars have power — and even more so now that a few generous IL donors have agreed to match all online donations through tomorrow night.*

*This is a 100% real match offer, made possible by 100% real people.

That’s why I hope you’ll chip in $25 (becomes $50) ahead of our FEC deadline tomorrow night. Whether you donate $5, $25, or more, your input makes a difference in this fight.

Thank you for being a part of this movement,
Sean
