John, our opponent's lied about his stances on health care and the environment. He's claimed to be able to take on special interests, while at the same time taking over $700,000 in corporate contributions. And now, he's making up basic facts in a shameful effort to deceive voters once again.

Constituents across our current district have brought to our attention a letter signed and sent by Sean Casten stating that he is their "new U.S. Representative."

Here's the truth: the next representative for the newly-redrawn 6th District of Illinois has yet to be chosen. That's for the people to decide in an election — it's not for either Casten or our campaign to declare.

Casten's goal is to confuse voters, make them think he has no opponent, and shut down a strong progressive woman. These disgraceful tactics have no place in a Democratic primary, and we need your help to fight back against them today.

Will you pitch in $25 – or anything you can – right now? We have a rapid-response fundraising goal of $7,500 that we need to meet by tomorrow.

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

Casten wants to get ahead of the people before they can make their voices heard on June 28. But polling has our race in a dead heat, and he's making a big mistake if he thinks he can win through trickery and lies.

So let's stand together right now, John, to fight for truth and progressive values. Let's show that the voters of the new IL-06 reject Casten's dishonesty.
