Hey folks,

As you can tell by my two-scoop ice cream cone, some things are just better when they're doubled: ice cream, espresso, cocktails, and of course, contributions to my battleground campaign. 

Well, I've got some great news: we had a few generous Illinois donors offer to match all of our online contributions through next Friday.

That’s just seven days away, so if you were ever considering making a contribution to my campaign, now is the time. Your impact will be doubled if you chip in today.

Folks, this investment comes at a critical turning point in this race. My anti-choice, anti-vax opponent is being bankrolled by the National Republican Congressional Committee in their scheme to flip IL-06 red.

But if he thinks he can buy this seat in Congress with right-wing megadonor cash, then he’s sorely mistaken. It won’t be easy, but if my last two elections have taught me anything, it’s that a grassroots campaign can take on the GOP money machine and win.

First, our team needs to bring in at least 235 donations before midnight tonight to make sure we're on pace for next Friday's goal. We don’t have room for error, so please, chip in a matched donation of $30 to help us reach our goal as soon as possible.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I appreciate your help with this.
