Friend,

I want to thank you for your support these last few weeks and months. With your help, we exceeded our online end-of-quarter fundraising goal – and are building the momentum we need to keep IL-13 blue.

Right now, I’m laser-focused on the devastating impacts of the government shutdown. Instead of working with Democrats to lower healthcare costs for millions of Americans, and despite controlling the House, Senate, and presidency, national Republicans left town to let the shutdown happen.

Make no mistake: We are in a crisis of the Republican Party’s making. This is a dramatic escalation, and their refusal to reach a deal that funds the government, extends ACA premium tax credits, and reverses devastating Medicaid cuts in the Big Ugly Bill is unacceptable.

I joined CBS to discuss how the shutdown will impact thousands of working families in IL-13 and beyond.

I’m not standing idly by while Illinoisans suffer from the decisions of this administration. Something has to give, and I won’t stop until this manufactured healthcare crisis is resolved.

Thank you,

Nikki
