I’ll be honest with you, friend:

Democrats are unlikely to hold the House this November if we don’t win in swing districts like Eric Sorensen’s in Illinois’s 17th District. That’s why I’m personally reaching out to ask you for a grassroots contribution of $5 to support his efforts. Can you chip in today?

Here’s why Eric’s race is so important:

  • The race for IL-17 will be extremely competitive. The polling I’ve seen is razor-thin, and we all expect this to be one the most tightly contested House races in the country. It’s crucial that all blue seats stay blue in order to keep the House.
     
  • Republicans are pulling out all the stops to flip this seat. They are already funneling big money and major endorsements -- including from Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy -- to bolster Eric’s opponent.
     
  • There’s so much on the line in November. We have little doubt a Repbulican Majority would pass a nationwide abortion ban, and Eric’s opponent is a staunch opponent of reproductive freedom.

With the stakes of this race so high, can you make a donation of $5 right away? Eric needs a strong showing before the end of the month, and falling short could cost us our Majority – an outcome I simply can’t allow.

We need strong leaders with moral conviction on crucial issues – and Eric Sorensen is one of them. Let’s show Eric we have his back in this critical race.

Speaker, US House of Representatives
