Hi John —

When the people of Illinois first elected me to Congress in 2018, I pledged to be the most accessible, transparent, and accountable member of Congress the 14th District has ever seen.

To me, fulfilling that promise means more than just keeping my constituents informed about what’s happening in Washington — more importantly, it means listening to and learning from the people I represent.

Hearing from the folks in our district is sincerely one of the best parts of my job. Your input helps our team set an agenda that truly reflects the needs of our community, and your stories help me better fight for you and your family in Congress.

So today, I’m reaching out to ask you for your input as our team sets our priorities for 2022. I’d love to sit down with each and every one of you and talk over a cup of coffee. But I thought the second best option would be to send you a quick email and ask for your input directly.

Our team set up a quick survey where you can tell me which issues matter most to you and your family right now. I’ve included the link right here, and I hope you will take a minute (or two!) to share your thoughts:

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with me today. I can’t wait to read your responses.
