This is it, John: only one week remains until our primary.

Time is running out for us to amplify our message and make our case to voters. If you can, please chip in a donation of $5 or any amount to help us win on June 28 →

If the last few months have shown us anything, it's that now is when we truly need representatives who've proven their progressive values and aren't afraid to take on right-wing extremists and corporate greed. Now is when we need bold leaders in Congress pushing for workers' rights, more measures to alleviate the cost of living, safeguards to our democracy, and a greener future.

I've never wavered in fighting for these principles. And that's made a lot of entrenched interests nervous – that's why they've spent nearly half a million dollars to defeat me.

I refuse to let dark money super PACs determine our future, and I've worked to build a powerful grassroots movement throughout IL-06 to show that people demand better. I cannot build this movement alone, so I'm asking for your support.

Please pitch in $5 – or whatever you can – for my campaign. The primary will come down to the wire, and we have to keep our field program, our digital outreach, and our TV ads running strong for the next seven days.

Thank you,

Marie
