John,
I have an exciting update to share about my good friend Betsy Dirksen Londrigan -- who's running for Congress in Illinois's 13th Congressional District.
The nonpartisan election forecasters at the Cook Political Report upgraded her race from "Lean Republican" to "Toss-up!"
I've known Betsy for a long time, and I've seen firsthand the hard work and dedication she has put into this campaign. In 2018, as a first-time candidate, she came within less than one point of unseating the Republican incumbent.
Now, she's back -- running for Congress in 2020 to finish what she started. Betsy has my full endorsement, and with your help, I know she'll be able to flip IL-13 blue. Will you chip in today to support my friend Betsy?

Washington Republicans and special interest groups spent millions of dollars to hold this seat in 2018. With Betsy back on the ticket, they will undoubtedly pour millions of dollars into Central Illinois again.
But Betsy has a secret weapon: us. She's relying on grassroots supporters to ensure she has the resources she needs to fight back. That's why she needs our help. Pitch in $5 right now.

Thanks for stepping up to flip this critical House seat blue. I'm proud to call Betsy a friend, and I know that her compassion and tenacity will make her an excellent representative for Central Illinoisans.
