Friends,
Of the 211 Republican members of the House in the 117th Congress, 114 of them signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court seeking to throw out the results of free and fair elections in four states. 54% of the GOP caucus.
And after Trump-supporting terrorists attacked the Capitol -- forcing members of Congress, their staff, and other federal employees to evacuate or barricade themselves inside -- 121 of them returned to the House and voted with those terrorists to overturn the results in Arizona. 57% of the GOP caucus.
And several hours later, as we had the chance to hear our colleagues' stories and start to understand the scope of what happened, 138 of them voted to overturn the results in Pennsylvania. 65% of the GOP caucus.
This is the majority of the House GOP -- there is no going back for them. But Republicans are projected to take back the House in 2022 -- which means the fight for our democracy will be won in battleground districts like this one >>

This week, 10 House Republicans joined in the most bipartisan impeachment vote in US history.
But the real story is the 197 of them who abandoned their oath to the Constitution and voted to protect Donald Trump. 93% of the GOP caucus.
Their hope is that you will forget their treason and sedition when their names are back on the ballot in 2 years.
But we will never let them live this down. Chip in now to help us hold IL-06 and defend our Democratic majority >>

Do not treat them as if they respect democracy. Do not treat them as if they have some useful insight into our Constitution. They have forever forfeited that privilege.
