John,

IL-06 district is on the National Republican Congressional Committee's target list, and the Cook Political Report recently rated it as vulnerable to a takeover. It's clear that we're going to face a fight to keep this seat blue in November, and Marie is the strongest possible candidate to face the GOP.

She's shown that she can build a massive grassroots campaign and bring new folks into the political process. She's built a record of success centered on improving access to transit and easing the economic burden on working families. She's done it all without taking a single dollar of corporate PAC money – and that's made some in the party establishment nervous.

They are going to throw everything they have at Marie in advance of the June primary, and we need to be building up the resources now to respond. So can you rush a donation before tomorrow's big deadline? We're still $5,044 short of our February goal, and we won't make it without grassroots supporters like you.

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

In Congress, Marie's been at the forefront of fighting for environmental equity, universal health care, and strengthening unions. It's because of representatives like her that the infrastructure bill contained key provisions that encourage green technology and make public transit more readily available. Marie has the combination of ideas and accomplishments that we need to run on in 2022.

Democrats win when we inspire voters, grow the electorate, and can point to concrete results on policies that impact people's lives. So when it comes to picking the nominee for IL-06, the clear choice is Marie.

We need every resource available to campaign over the next four months. Every few dollars matters. So please, chip in what you can before our deadline tomorrow.

-Team Marie
