John,

It's been a wild week in IL-03.

Just a few days ago, the anti-choice lawmaker you helped us defeat in 2020 re-emerged to explore a run.

Dan Lipinski was quoted in the press last week saying there's a "possibility" that he will run against us in 2022.

Thanks to the work of a diverse coalition, grassroots energy, and strong support from our constituents, we defeated an anti-choice, anti-immigrant, anti-worker "Democrat" in the primary last year. Dan Lipinski is not in alignment with the Democratic Party and we can't brush this threat aside. He wants power back to overturn Roe v. Wade, keep wages stagnant, and keep people from getting health care -- he has no interest in representing constituents again.

Can I count on you to chip in today so we can fight off a primary challenge from Dan Lipinski?

Democrats only have a majority of three seats in the House. If we want to be successful at passing any legislation that aligns with President Biden's Build Back Better agenda, we can't count on a flimsy "Democrat" like Dan Lipinski to stand up for basic Democratic values.

We put too much work into our district to let Dan Lipinski come back and turn back the clock.

Can you chip in today to help us fight off a strong primary challenge?
