It’s Juliana Stratton.

Last week, my team and I reached out to you a few times about our January fundraising deadline. We pushed hard to reach our goal — but unfortunately, we didn’t get there.

We landed short by $4,625. It’s not the end of the world, but I won’t sugarcoat it: falling short stings. But it also reminds me how important every single supporter is in this fight.

With less than 45 days to go until the primary, we’re facing an opponent who has millions of dollars in cash to spend because of his corporate PAC backing and the MAGA donors that are funding him.

He wants to buy this race, but we’re beating him in people-power and proving that campaigns like ours can win — and you are at the heart of it.

So I am asking today, can you help us start the month off strong and make up where we came short? We are approaching the home stretch of this race and our FINAL report before the primary election, so your support now means more than you know.

If you can, please chip in $3 — or whatever you can — today to help make up the $4,625 we came short. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps power my campaign and fight for Illinois families, defend our democracy, and show that ordinary people can stand up to extraordinary forces.

I’ve spent my life standing up for communities across Illinois. I’m ready to take that same fight to Washington. But we can’t do it without each other. Your support today can make all the difference.

We may have fallen short on Saturday — but together, we can turn it around. Let’s prove that grassroots energy, not corporate money, decides this race.

Thank you for standing with me. Let’s finish this together.
