John,
Everywhere we look, we see Halloween: in the grocery store, at school, in decorations throughout the neighborhood. It’s a fun time in which we take a step back from reality to wear costumes, throw parties, and challenge ourselves to confront what scares us.
Here’s another challenge: in IL-07 and across this country, our reality is a frightening one we can’t step back from—not on Halloween, and not ever. This is the reality where we teachers are underpaid, where parents can’t find affordable child care, and where economic injustices keep people in poverty.
We face the reality of the global climate crisis and, in many communities, we face systemic issues like gun violence and lack of affordable health care. The terrifying reality is that many of these issues are life and death. And in the 23 long years he’s been in office, my primary opponent Danny K. Davis has let that reality linger and worsen. |

That’s why our campaign is fighting to change our reality. To make America a place where people can live happy, healthy, productive lives instead of struggling through life. To make it a place where my students don’t have to worry about the systemic issues that hold back too many people of color. Where they don’t have to worry about the institutionalized privilege that keeps the few above the many.
This is a reality that we must dismantle, root and stem. We need hope to do that, we need an army of change-makers to do that, and we need people in Congress who will fight for legislation to do that.
Help us make that reality happen by supporting our campaign today.
While we buy candy and costumes and snacks this Halloween season, let’s also invest in the future we can’t afford to neglect. Otherwise, this life-or-death reality will continue.
I can’t thank you enough for your support.
Anthony
