I'll be direct, friend.

I'm asking you to make a donation of $5 to power our efforts to keep IL-17 blue. We have a concerning update that makes your support more urgent than usual – please give me a moment to shed light on what's going on: 

This morning, we got word that Kevin McCarthy's super PAC has officially launched their attack ads against us. They’re currently running in our district with the sole aim of misleading undecided voters about my positions.

As a reminder, this is just the beginning of a possible $3 million investment promised against me by this super PAC.

Here's the truth: 

My opponent Esther King has ZERO record to run on -- especially as it pertains to delivering for the 17th District. So McCarthy’s best bet is to spread falsehoods and distract from their true agenda: a nationwide abortion ban, higher taxes on middle class families, a total reversal on climate change progess, and a crushing overhaul of Medicare and Social Security.

I'm no stranger to false attacks, and frankly, I know most voters will see through the GOP’s deceit. But this race is still going to be very competitive. Polling has us neck and neck, and an unprecedented amount of dark money could tip the scales. 

So I have to ask:

We responded to these attacks by going up on television earlier than planned. It was an important move, but it has blown a hole in our budget. Please chip in $5 to help us raise the additional $103,500 we need before the end of this month to keep our campaign going strong.

Thanks for your support,
