Friends,

Sean made history as the first Democrat to win this seat in 46 years.

But he's a top target for Republicans in 2020, and his extremist opponent Jeanne Ives is gaining traction:

Crain's Chicago Business Journal: Ives raises an impressive $340,000 this quarter, pulls in endorsements from groups on the activist right

Jeanne Ives is too extreme for Illinois.

We can't let this seat go to someone who proudly mocks and insults women who support Roe v. Wade, immigrants, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ community.

We're halfway through October, and we still need to bring in 304 donations to reach our monthly goal -- will you step up to help keep Sean in Congress so he can keep fighting for hardworking Illinois families?

Ives has the full backing of the far-right Republican establishment and access to a national network of the GOP's biggest donors, but our campaign is powered by the people.

We need all hands on deck to win this toss-up race. Will you chip in whatever amount you can to help our grassroots campaign reach our monthly donor goal?

We can't win this without you.
