John, I wanted to make sure you saw the major news in our race over the last 24 hours:

The official campaign arm of House Republicans upgraded two of my opponents – a sign that IL-06 is a priority target of theirs.

We have to build up our warchest so that we can face their attacks head-on. And the first step is meeting our goal at the end of this month.

We've got just over a day left to close our fundraising gap of $3,749! Please donate whatever you can →

Thanks so much,

Marie

John,

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) just added two of Marie's challengers to their list of on-the-radar candidates. It's clear that the NRCC has its sights set on flipping our district in November.

Can you make a donation right now? We're one day out from our end-of-month goal, and we have to hit our benchmark so that we have the resources to rapidly respond to anything the Republicans throw Marie's way.

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

Republicans are working to expand the playing field in their efforts to flip the House. If we can't hold them off in districts like IL-06, we'll almost certainly see the GOP flip the chamber and put a stop to any further chance of progressive legislation passing.

Marie has shown she can win difficult races. Her message resonates powerfully with working families. But she can't take on the coming GOP attacks all by herself.

To withstand barrages of attack ads and misinformation, we'll need a big grassroots effort. That's why we're coming to you today. Will you chip in before tomorrow's deadline? We still need to raise $4,368 more if we want to meet our goal.

Thank you,

The Team at Newman for Congress
