John, I wanted to just quickly follow up on Marie's message:

Our campaign is not taking corporate PAC money. That means we're counting on grassroots donations from supporters like you to get us to our goals.

It makes our hill a higher one to climb. But it also makes our campaign truly representative of the people Marie fights for.

We need 47 more contributions today to stay on pace for our FEC deadline. Please chip in whatever you can, even if it's just a few dollars.

Much appreciated,

Pooja Patil
Finance Director

John, we’re facing a critical Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing deadline in five days.

This deadline means all of our numbers will be made public for everyone to see for the first time since redistricting happened in Illinois and we were placed in an expensive primary fight.

We’ve got a tough race ahead of us in IL-06, and we can’t show any signs of weakness. That’s why we’ve set a goal to raise another $15,000 ahead of the FEC deadline. Can you chip in $5 or any amount now?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Chip in $5	Chip in $25
Chip in $50	Chip in $100
Chip in $250	Other amount

After this filing deadline, political pundits and our opponents will all be able to see how much grassroots strength we have behind us heading into the election year.

We’ve got to prove that we have what it takes to keep fighting for jobs, economic fairness, and environmental progress. I'm proud to stand with the working families of Chicago's southwest side -- but I can’t do it without you.

Will you step up and contribute $5 ahead of our critical FEC deadline on Friday? Any amount will help us reach our goal →

Thanks for everything,

Marie
