John – 

In 2018, I defeated a four-term Republican incumbent and became the youngest Black woman ever elected to Congress.

Then in 2020, I narrowly won re-election in one of the closest congressional races in the country. My Republican opponent dragged a costly recount process out for as long as he could – but we refused to back down.

Now, I’m one of national Republicans’ top targets for 2022. I’m widely seen as one of the most vulnerable Democrats heading into the midterm elections, and I’ll face a mountain of outside spending.

So, I have to ask: Will you please split a donation of $25 or more between my re-election campaign and Hold the House to defend our House majority? We’re in an election year now and there is simply too much at stake.

With Republicans just five seats away from taking back the majority, they’re already plotting their attacks against me, and I’ll need all the support I can get to fight back and hold this battleground seat.

Protecting our slim House majority is the only way we’ll be able to fight for the progress working families need and deserve – but I need committed Democrats like you by my side to make this work possible.

So please, split a donation of $25 or whatever you can between my grassroots campaign and Hold the House right now. We’re counting on your support to defend our razor-thin majority.

Thank you,

Lauren Underwood
Congresswoman, IL-14
