John, Every year, corporate lobbyists spend millions of dollars trying to influence our elected representatives to turn their backs on us. And guess what? Most of the time, they’re successful. They go to work in the halls of our government every single hour of every single day, armed with millions in cash, with one mission — maximize profit margins for executives and shareholders. We’re winning this campaign by tapping into what they don’t have — what they will never have — people power. Our path to victory is there, but we have to hit every fundraising goal we set to make it a reality. We know we’re up against a lot. Our opponent is the poster child for a “corporate politician”. He’s built up a big war chest by taking $350,000 from Big Pharma and private healthcare, $50,000 from defense contractors, and $60,000 from private utilities who benefit from monopolizing our energy systems. But in the district, he’s constantly missing in action. Illinoisans in the Eighth District are ready for someone who actually shows up and listens to their concerns. We have the ground game and energy to build an unbreakable movement in this district — one that corporations and special interests can’t beat with money. But we need the resources to make it happen. In Solidarity, Junaid Ahmed Junaid is a father, husband, community organizer, and longtime Illinoisan running a 100% grassroots campaign to represent Illinois’ 8th District in Congress. He’s fighting to put power back in our hands, end corporate influence in Washington, and pass bold solutions like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and tuition-free public college. |
