John,

We've had an exciting few weeks around here. I was honored to get Senator Elizabeth Warren’s endorsement last Monday, and today, I’m just as thrilled to receive an endorsement from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Her support means a lot. She knows what it’s like to take on the establishment and D.C. insiders -- and win. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez proved that you can win tough races by knocking on as many doors as possible and championing your district’s voices and values.

That’s exactly what we’re going to do right here in IL-03, and I couldn’t be more grateful that she’s on my side.

But take a step back for a second and ask yourself why these national progressive leaders are paying close attention to this race. They know, especially right now, we simply can't afford to have Democrats in office who fail to stand up for our values.

If you agree that it’s time for the Third District to have a leader unbought by corporate special interests -- someone who will take on the establishment and machine politics -- then I need you with me. Will you chip in to my campaign today?

We can do this -- together.

Thanks,

Marie
