Folks,

We just took our first step toward building back better:

This critical legislation will provide badly-needed funding for local governments to roll out the vaccine, safely open our schools, and give our small businesses the lift they need.

In addition to putting $1400 checks in Americans’ pockets and cutting child poverty in half, it will save 4 million jobs and lay the groundwork for a strong, inclusive economic recovery.

Yet every single Republican in the House and Senate voted against the relief supported by overwhelming majorities of the American people across all parties. House Republicans are just 5 seats away from being able to obstruct all progress -- so I’m asking, will you help us bring in $5k over the next 4 days to defend IL-06 and protect our House majority?

You made this first step possible. You voted an adult into the White House and secured our Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.

But our work to get this pandemic under control and get our country back on track is just beginning.

We can’t afford to let a party that’s been overtaken by far-right extremists get back in the driver’s seat. President Biden needs partners he can count on in the House, but I’m a top target for national Republicans in 2022 -- will you chip in to help us stay on track to reach our critical public FEC deadline at the end of the month?

Thank you,

Sean Casten
