John, our primary opponent outraised us last quarter. We need to show that we're closing the gap with him after our next FEC report is released.

Please rush $5 or more before our public fundraising deadline this week. We're four days out, and have to raise another $9.932.

One of the biggest differences between Marie and her opponent? The way they're funding their campaigns.

She's refused to take corporate PAC money, while he's gotten checks from banks, big oil, and the pharmaceutical and defense industries.

Here's the hard reality: sticking to our principles means that it's easier for others to outraise us. So when we face major deadlines like this, we really are counting on all of our grassroots supporters to step up.

Even though we've been outraised, we're currently tied with our opponent. That shows just how powerful Marie's progressive message is.

Now, we need the resources to ensure we can get that message out to every voter in IL-06 in the next three months before the primary.

So please, chip in $5 or what you can today. We can't afford to fail this critical fundraising test.

Thank you,

Team Marie
