John, I wanted to just quickly follow up on Marie's message about our FEC deadline:

Unlike our opponent, we're not taking corporate PAC money. That means we're relying on grassroots donations from supporters like you to get us to our goals.

It makes our hill a higher one to climb. But it also makes our campaign truly representative of the people Marie fights for.

We need 28 more contributions today to stay on pace for our FEC deadline. Please chip in whatever you can, even if it's just a few dollars.

Much appreciated,

Nick Uniejewski
Campaign Manager

John, we’re facing a critical Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing deadline in six days. This means that our fundraising numbers will be made public for everyone to see for the first time this year.

Polling has our primary race in a dead heat, and we can’t show any signs of weakness. That’s why we’ve set a goal to raise another $12,460 ahead of the FEC deadline. Can you chip in $5 – or any amount – right now?

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

Chip in $5	Chip in $25
Chip in $50	Chip in $100
Chip in $250	Other amount

After this filing deadline, political pundits will be able to see how much grassroots strength we have against an opponent who's been propped hundreds of thousands of dollars in corporate contributions. If we come up short of our goal, special interests will be emboldened to spend even more against us.

We’ve got to prove that we have what it takes to keep fighting for union jobs, economic fairness, and environmental progress. I'm proud to stand with the working families of Chicago's Southwest Side -- but I can’t do it without you.

Will you step up and contribute $5 ahead of our critical FEC deadline next Thursday? Any amount will help us reach our goal →

Thank you,

Marie
