Quick update, team.
Last night, the elections analysts at FiveThirtyEight updated their forecast in Illinois’ 17th District. They now predict that Eric is “slightly favored” to win this race! According to their model, his chances of coming out on top stand well above 50%.
About a month ago, FiveThirtyEight had our race as an exact 50-50 tossup, so this is actually a major shift in our favor. It’s clear that momentum is building for Eric’s candidacy, but in a swing district like IL-17, things can change quickly in either direction.
As you read this email Kevin McCarthy’s super PAC is running terrible attack ads on behalf of our anti-choice opponent, Esther King. With the wind at our backs, there’s no doubt King and her far-right allies will be doubling down to stop our momentum.
This week, Team Sorensen is kicking off our paid advertising programs on TVs and digital platforms. We can’t leave anything to chance, so we’ve scaled up our budget by 30% to reach as many voters as possible.
This is a critical moment, and your continued support is more urgent than ever. Please help keep our momentum going strong by chipping in $5 today. [[link removed]]

We’ve come a long way, friend.
In June, FiveThirtyEight gave King a 67% chance of winning. That’s a 26-point swing in our direction since then! This is credit to your support, but we can’t risk taking our foot off the gas pedal as this election heats up.
Contribute $5 to give us a boost at this critical moment. [[link removed]]
Thanks for all that you do,
