In a moment, I’m going to ask for your support before our critical End-of-Month deadline, but first, I want to explain exactly why the stakes are so high right now. (If you’re already on board, you can donate here right now!) I’m asking because the time for sitting on the sidelines is over.ICE is running rampant over our constitutional rights. Families are facing massive increases in their health care premiums. And Donald Trump is looking for any and all opportunities to illegally grab power. I’m asking because we either roll over or fight back — and I’m choosing to fight.I’ve helped lead the fight to repeal Republican SNAP cuts and ensure Americans have access to affordable health care. I’ve put it all on the line to defend our rights — even getting the police called on me for conducting oversight of ICE. I drove cross-country to make sure my vote counted in Congress. I’m asking because the 2026 midterms are an opportunity that we absolutely cannot miss.If we flip the Senate, we can end Trump’s unchecked power in Washington on Day One. We can protect our communities, conduct real oversight, and end funding for Trump’s ICE. But if we fall short, the results could be catastrophic. Trump will feel emboldened to wreak even more havoc on our country. I’m asking because early voting in this race starts in just five days.Voters are making up their minds before they start to head to the ballot box in just five days. I need to use every second of this remaining time getting out our message to voters across Illinois. I’m asking because grassroots supporters are our secret weapon.Right now, a shady, dark money Super PAC (that was already caught lying to Illinoisans) is running ads supporting my opponent. We can’t afford to let their misleading message drown us out in this final stretch. The only way we can possibly fight back is with a massive outpouring of support from people like you. But right now we’re on track to fall short of this final End-of-Month goal before voters head to the polls. At a moment when the stakes have never been higher, we can’t afford to lose momentum. Thank you for your support, Raja Krishnamoorthi |
