Hi friend, it’s Cheri Bustos — IL-17's former Congresswoman who proudly represented this community for a decade. 

As we look to turn the page to 2026, I wanted to reach out about why your continued support for Eric Sorensen - the Democrat I endorsed as my successor - is so important. 

Eric’s roots in our district run deep, and we can trust him to represent our values in Washington. In the midst of the Washington chaos, Eric has had a year we can be proud of: delivering for local infrastructure and keeping our communities safe from the worst extremist impulses. 

Once again, our district has been tabbed as ground zero in the fight for the majority in the House.

We need to keep momentum on Eric’s side, friend. So I’m making an urgent request: Will you contribute $3 to his campaign today? He needs an extra lift before this week’s FINAL end-of-quarter deadline.

DONATE

I spent five election cycles with our district being the true battleground seat of Illinois, so I’m sympathetic to what Eric’s going through. 

I know from many tough battles that when we come together, we can rise up against the millions that national Republicans pour into IL-17 every cycle. 

I’m confident that Eric has the goods to continue to deliver for our district for years – but he’s counting on contributions from supporters like you. 

Eric needs your help. I’m asking you to make an urgent $3 donation to fend off the attacks and keep this seat blue.
