I refuse to be "the Congressman who cries wolf." 

I’ll never send you a bunch of B.S. emails about 8,000% matches and zillion-dollar fundraising goals. There’s enough doom-and-gloom in your inbox and newsfeed every day; I don’t need to add to it.

Instead, I strive to be "the Congressman who keeps it real.”

A campaign is a partnership, and good partnerships aren’t built on lies and hysterics. They’re built on mutual trust. That mutual trust has carried us through four tough campaigns and seven productive years in Congress.

I take that trust very seriously. That's why I’m not claiming that your donation will single-handedly evict our Oval Office occupant or flush the toxicity out of our political system.

I am, however, claiming that your grassroots dollars have power — even more so now that a few generous IL donors have agreed to match all online donations through tomorrow night.*

*This is a 100% real match offer, made possible by 100% real people.

That’s why I hope you’ll chip in $25 (becomes $50) ahead of my End-of-Year FEC deadline on Wednesday. Your impact will help us crush our goal, win back the House, and make 2026 America's Year of Revival.

Thanks so much,
Sean Casten
