Team, this is important.

It’s happening. One of my opponents just made a massive ad buy here in Illinois — and it’s clear they’re preparing to flood the airwaves to drown out our grassroots, people-powered movement.

We knew this day would come. We’re up against opponents with millions in corporate PAC money and decades of D.C. connections, and with these ads, they’ll try to control the narrative before grassroots campaigns like ours even have a chance to be heard.

But Illinoisans deserve better. They deserve leaders with new perspectives and a proven track record of getting things done, not more corporate special interests trying to buy influence in Washington.

Our campaign is different. No matter how much they spend, they can’t silence us.

We’re not powered by corporate PACs. We’re powered by you and thousands of working people across Illinois who know that government should work for us, not the wealthy and well-connected few.

So while our opponent spends millions trying to drown out our voices, we’re going to fight back by sharing our working-family focused message, organizing in every corner of this state, and building a grassroots movement strong enough to win.

But I need your help to do it.

Can you chip in $3, $25, or whatever you can today to help us respond to these ads and keep building our people-powered campaign?

We’re up against serious money — but we have something they don’t: You. And if we all pitch in what we can, I know we can win this fight and bring real leadership to the U.S. Senate.

Thanks for being part of this team.
