John,

In a minute, I’m going to explain why this is such an important moment for our campaign, but first, I have to ask: will you pitch in $5 or more to help me meet my online goal?

Time and time again, we have seen that we cannot rely on Mitch McConnell’s GOP Senate to meet the challenges of this moment, whether it’s adequately responding to the COVID-19 pandemic or working to reform our police departments and address pervasive, systemic racism.

We need to take back the Senate from the Republican majority -- and Illinois needs to remain a leader in that fight. With the announcement of a so-called independent challenger in my race dropping millions on his self-funded campaign, we must double our efforts to keep Illinois blue.

That’s why I set a $20,000 online fundraising goal -- to prove we can win this fight. We’re almost there, but I need each of you to show your support before midnight tomorrow:

I wouldn’t ask if it weren’t important, John. Can I count on you to chip in $5 or whatever you can afford to help us keep Illinois blue and flip the Senate?

My best,

Dick Durbin
