John, 

When you volunteer with our field team, one thing becomes immediately clear: Dan Lipinski is out of touch with this district and we need new leadership in Washington.

Our team of incredible volunteers and organizers are talking to voters every single day of the week, and they hear the same thing from so many people. Whether it’s knocking on doors in Beverly, collecting signatures at the train station in Lockport, or phone banking from our headquarters in Countryside, it’s evident that this district is ready for change.

It’s going to take a strong grassroots movement to win this thing and my team will need every resource possible to reach every corner of this district. 

This campaign belongs to the people who are building it from the ground up. We don’t have establishment groups like the DCCC coming to our aid, so we have to make every dollar go a little further. As Marie likes to say, we’re scrappy. 

Will you chip in today to make sure that our field team has the resources necessary to win? 

• A $10 contribution can pay for the pens volunteers use to collect signatures to get us on the ballot;
• A $35 contribution can pay for enough clipboards for a canvass launch;
• A $50 contribution can pay for the literature that our volunteers pass out to voters every weekend. 

The energy for change is on our side, but we’ve got 5 months until Election Day, and we have to reach thousands of voters between now and then.

Will you invest in our campaign today so we can meet our end of month fundraising goal?

Your support now makes a real difference.

Thank you,

Francisco Martinez
