Friend,
I wanted to pass along this huge update on our campaign in IL-17:
The elections analysts at FiveThirtyEight just released their first forecast in our race. According to their report, my race is a toss up, but due to the tough midterm environment, a slight edge is being given to my Republican opponent Esther King.
Only 14 districts in the country are listed as toss ups, and this report is a reminder that national Republicans are gearing up to spend whatever it takes to flip this seat red.
We have some ground to make up, but being within 1.4% means we're clearly within striking distance. I'm hoping for a strong grassroots response to this forecast to prove we have the strength to close the gap and win this race:

Our effort to keep this seat blue could determine which party controls Congress. That's not hyperbole, friend, these are the real stakes in this race.
Our opponent is ahead on fundraising -- especially when you factor in the $1.37 million in super PAC support she's getting in the form of attack ads against me.
Listen, I don't believe for a second that money is going to decide the outcome of this race, but it certainly will have an impact. And with the stakes so high, I want to know we're doing everything in our power to gain ground and take the lead.
Please chip in $10 to help us close the gap and win this seat.
Thanks in advance,
- Eric
