As you know, I’m running for Congress in Illinois’ Eighth District to unseat a corporate politician and put power back where it belongs — in the hands of the people.
I want to lay out where our campaign is right now, both the good and the bad.
Here’s the good news:
- Our people power on the ground is growing. We’ve spent the last year building deep connections with people in Illinois’ Eighth, investing in the long-term grassroots energy needed to overcome our corporate opponent.
- We’re one of the top-funded progressive challengers in the entire country without accepting a single cent from corporate PACs or special interests.
- We’re heading into 2022 with the most momentum and energy we’ve ever had.
The bad news?
- Outside special interests are already trying to stop us from winning this race. For example, Pro-Israel America, a right-wing group affliated with AIPAC, labeled us a “key race of 2022” for them to target.
- The establishment is huddling together, figuring out ways to stop our momentum. The Democratic Party of Illinois already tried to hamper us by blocking access to their voter data — data meant for all Democratic candidates.
- We’re a little slow on fundraising this month. If we don’t hit every goal we set now, it’s going to be hard to keep up with our corporate opponent down the road.
As we head into election year, we need to be as ready as possible for whatever curveballs are thrown our way.
