I’m going to be direct with you because that’s how I lead:

On September 30th, our campaign faces a critical FEC fundraising deadline, and I need your help to make sure we show up strong.

After this deadline, we’ll be legally required to publicly report how many people have contributed and how much we’ve raised together as a grassroots movement.

Everyone will be watching: My opponents — one with over $20 million in the bank, and another with D.C. connections and large sums of corporate PAC money. And the GOP, which has been attacking me relentlessly for defending Illinois’ immigrant communities.

They’ll all be combing through every single line of our fundraising report, looking for one thing: Any signs of weakness.

They’re betting that we can’t build a grassroots campaign strong enough to win. But they’re wrong if they think we’ll back down.

I don’t take a dime of corporate PAC money. This grassroots team is my main source of strength — and with you by my side, I know we can meet this moment and prove we’re ready to win.

So right now, I need you with me. Will you make a $3 donation to my Senate campaign to help us show out strong before our FEC fundraising deadline on September 30th?

I’m not in this race for the headlines or the insiders. I’m doing this because working people deserve leaders who won’t flinch when the fight gets tough. That’s how I’ve led alongside Governor Pritzker in Illinois — raising wages, protecting reproductive freedom, expanding health care — and that’s exactly how I’ll lead in the U.S. Senate.

Thank you for being in this fight with me.
