Now that we’ve gotten all the results of last Tuesday’s historic sweep for Democrats, I’m urging you: Take the victory lap.

This was not a fluke. It was a course correction. A reaction to the disastrous reign of an unpopular, venomous, delusional dictator-wannabe. (BTW, his approval is at 37% in a new CNN poll — his worst ever).

I’ll get back to our victory lap in just a second, but first, we have a ton of work to do to prepare for 2026. I’m asking you to help me ride this wave of patriotic energy to victory next November by chipping in whatever you can to my campaign today.

Here’s a great visual from Axios:

In case you’re keeping score, Democrats:

→ Won double-digit victories in Virginia and New Jersey’s gubernatorial races
→ Flipped at least 13 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates, securing a supermajority
→ Flipped three seats in New Jersey’s Assembly
→ Held three seats on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
→ Flipped two seats on Georgia's Public Service Commission (a win for clean energy!)
→ Flipped two state Senate seats in Mississippi, breaking a GOP supermajority

This is worth celebrating.

Bonus fact out of New Jersey: Democrats just took the largest majority either party has held in the State Assembly since 1975 (right after Watergate, but who’s counting?).

Don’t let any headline or GOP strategist tell you differently: Trump is flailing hard, and that gives us an opportunity to strike.

We each have our roles to play in the fight ahead. Mine? A megaphone for common sense and a spotlight on the failures of this administration. Yours? A grassroots patriot who makes that work possible. If you can, chip in $25 to gas up my reelection fund and capitalize on the turning tides here in Illinois and across the country.

There’s a light emerging at the end of the tunnel. If you believe in freedom, democracy, and truth, let’s get down to business.

Eyes on the prize,
