John,

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news: Northside Democracy for America (NDFA) has officially endorsed our campaign.

NDFA has been Chicago’s longest-standing Democratic organization—championing progressive values, elevating grassroots voices, and keeping local communities at the center of our politics for more than 30 years. Their endorsement isn’t just an honor—it’s proof that our movement is strong, growing, and rooted in the people of Illinois’ 9th District. And it matters even more because this is the first local group to make an endorsement in IL-9 after interviewing all the eligible candidates.

From neighborhood organizations to community leaders and small businesses across IL-9, more and more of our neighbors are stepping up to support this campaign because they know what’s at stake. They know we need someone in Congress who is one of our own—someone who understands our communities struggles and who will fight for working families in IL-9.

Together, we’re proving that IL-9 won’t be sold off to national special interests or billionaires who want to dictate our future. Chicago’s next representative will be chosen by the people who live here, not by outsiders trying to buy this seat.

But to keep this momentum going, I need your help. Every contribution—whether it’s $50, $25, or $10—helps us organize, reach voters, and grow our movement. And just as importantly, showing strong grassroots fundraising right now will send a powerful signal to other organizations still deciding whom to endorse: this campaign has the strength to win.

Can I count on you to chip in today and help fuel this people-powered movement?
