John,

In a few hours, we’ll cross our final FEC deadline before Election Day. And I need to ask directly for your help. But before I do, I want to explain what’s at stake at moments like this.

All of the things I know the Third District cares about are on the line -- health care, growing the middle class, creating the jobs of the future, and so much more.

We’re just $1,050 from our grassroots goal -- make a donation to this campaign before midnight tonight and let’s put everything we can into winning this race.

It seems like the Republican agenda has moved further and further to the right over the last four years.

On the debate stage, we saw Mike Pence refer to those who are worried about our changing climate as “climate alarmists,” and completely avoid answering whether or not he would ban abortion. We watched as an unhinged Trump hurled insults and refused to condemn white supremacy.

And the scary thing is: My opponent is in lock-step with Trump and Pence’s agenda. In fact, he accused me of “siding with the criminals” for supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.

I know these aren’t the values of the Third District, but Republicans think they have a shot at winning this thing. We can’t let that happen, John.

If you want the next representative for IL-03 to believe in science, think health care is a right, and fight every day for working people, make a donation to our campaign before tonight’s final FEC deadline.

Thanks -- together, we can do this,

Marie
