John,

Over the weekend, we held our official campaign kickoff for the new IL-06. We're so grateful for all the volunteers who joined Marie and canvassed -- the strong turnout made it clear that we're hitting the ground running with great grassroots energy behind us, and that we're not slowing down.

This event was possible because of the support we've received from small-dollar donors. Thanks to donations of $5, $10, or $25, we were able to launch our field program by talking to more than a thousand voters over the course of just one day.

These early conversations are critical to building the foundation for victory in June's primary. We're planning for three more canvass events this month – and with your help, we can make them even bigger than this past weekend's.

To recruit additional volunteers and hit our voter contact targets for the rest of January, we need to raise $2,500 more this week. Will you help us meet this goal by donating today?

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

Thank you so much,

Team Marie
