Email from Organization Name John, It’s Bushra. I’m writing this between swigs of DayQuil and salt gargling — because I finally hit a wall. After a whirlwind week of interviews, community gatherings, and a packed candidate town hall, I completely lost my voice. This campaign has already hosted over 190 meet & greets, attended multiple forums, and spent countless nights crisscrossing the 9th District, because I believe something simple and deeply powerful: Politics should be personal. Candidates should look people in the eye. We should earn trust one conversation at a time. And we should never forget who we’re fighting for. That’s the kind of leader I want to be. That’s the movement we’re building. But today… I can’t talk. Literally. My voice is gone, and my team has banned me from making calls until I recover. So instead of dialing supporters, I’m writing this message and hoping it still reaches you, even if I can’t say it out loud. We can’t afford to lose a day of momentum — not in a race this important, not when our grassroots campaign is proving we can win. So I’m asking sincerely: Will you step up for me today and make a contribution to help fill the gap while I rest? Any amount, $25, $10, or even $5, truly makes a difference.   Donate   I’ll be back out there soon, meeting as many neighbors as I can and continuing to build a winning coalition the only way I know how: through genuine human connection. Thank you for believing in us, caring about this campaign, and giving me the space to recover. Your support means more than you know. With gratitude (and lots of tea), Bushra Amiwala Democrat for IL-9 Donate Mail checks to: Bushra for Congress PO Box 911 Skokie, IL 60076 Bushra for Congress | PO Box 911 | Skokie, IL 60076 US Unsubscribe | Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice
