We’re about to be under a microscope, John.

Illinois redrew its Congressional map at the end of last year, putting Marie into a tough primary fight with an establishment-backed opponent. We're working hard to get her message out to thousands of new voters before the primary on June 28 – knowing that we're likely to be outspent.

We’re now facing our first FEC fundraising deadline since the new polling showed Marie and her opponent running even, and the numbers we report will show whether we have what it takes to pull ahead.

We're only three days away from this deadline, and still have $7,467 left to raise. We can’t show any signs of weakness – will you donate $5 or more now to make sure we can prove our grassroots strength?

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

If we want to keep Marie fighting for us in Congress on so many important issues – from a green economy, to better wages, to reproductive choice, to corporate accountability, to accessible transportation – then we have to hit each and every one of our fundraising goals from here on out.

It all starts with Thursday’s critical FEC deadline. Use this link to pitch in any amount now: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mn_em

Thanks,

All of us @ Marie Newman HQ
