John,

In 2018, you helped make history by supporting DFA-endorsed progressive
candidate Lauren Underwood for Congress in Illinois’ 14th District. Lauren
went up against a longtime Republican incumbent and won, becoming the
district’s first representative of color. She was a progressive running in
a “red” district, ran an authentic, bold and unapologetically progressive
campaign, and flipped this seat from “Red to Blue.” In the words of
Shirley Chisholm, Lauren promised she would be “unbought and unbossed” in
the U.S. House, and she’s been keeping that promise ever since.

In Congress, Lauren, a registered nurse and health policy expert fighting
for paid family leave and affordable childcare, good-paying jobs, gun
violence prevention, and high quality public education, is standing up for
progressives every single day.

The GOP thinks they can win back this seat in 2020. A whopping SEVEN
Republicans are running against her, raising millions of dollars to attack
her personally and misrepresent her record. Yes, you heard me correctly --
she has seven Republican challengers.

If we’re going to defend the Democratic House Majority and move our
progressive agenda forward, we simply cannot afford to lose Lauren.

Will you rush a split contribution of
$5 or more
to Lauren and DFA today to help us safeguard her vulnerable House seat
next year?

Lauren is exactly the kind of person we need in Congress: someone who
knows the needs of her community and is ready to fight for them head-on.
Let’s ensure we do whatever it takes to keep her in office fighting for
the people of Illinois and our progressive values in Washington DC.

Thanks,

-Yvette
