John,

As we prepare to close the books on this year, I'm incredibly proud of the broad array of support that our people-driven campaign has attracted. Our endorsements include 10 mayors and city leaders right here in IL-06, key local unions, and progressive organizations committed to women's rights, workers' rights, and lifting up the middle class.

But most of all, I'm proud that thousands of individual people (whether they've given $5 or $50 or more) have stepped up to power our campaign forward in the face of strong resistance from political machines, corporate interests, and dark money groups.

Can you join our growing movement by chipping in before the end of the year? Your support is critical with just three days left until our public fundraising deadline.

When our FEC fundraising reports are released after December 31, we'll be judged not only by how much we've raised, but by how many contributions we have.

We need to show that our campaign has wide support and can sustain itself in the lead-up to our June primary. Every additional contribution demonstrates the power of our message.

So John, I hope you'll stand with me before the end of the year. Please chip in whatever you can before Friday's deadline to help our campaign keep moving forward.

Thanks for everything,

Marie
