John,

Today, we submitted our petitions to ensure that Marie appears on the primary ballot.

This was possible because of our movement of volunteers who have been canvassing across IL-06 over the past two months, collecting signatures and getting the word out about Marie. And we've been able to effectively recruit volunteers thanks to the support we've received from small-dollar donors.

Now, we're entering another crucial stage of the election: the lead-up to our first public fundraising deadline of the year. The numbers we release after March 31 will do a lot to define the narrative of our race as the primary election fast approaches.

Every donation we receive this month will help us demonstrate the sustained grassroots power behind this campaign, and show that we're building critical momentum.

So will you pitch in $5, $25, or more today? If we get 31 more donations by the end of the day, we'll be right on pace for our fundraising goal this week.

Thank you,

Team Marie
