We get it, team.

Fundraising emails can sometimes sound over the top. But our team will never tell you that "the sky is falling” or use astronomical goals to trick you into donating.

Instead, we’ll tell you the honest truth: we’re not on track to reach our online fundraising goal by Wednesday’s pre-election FEC deadline. So, can we count on you to chip in $25 to help us close the gap before our fundraising numbers go public?

This fundraising slump has us concerned as national Republicans launch massive ad buys, smearing Sean’s record on the airwaves.

With political experts at NBC Chicago saying House control could be decided in IL-06, this avalanche of outside spending could cost us this battleground seat and our entire majority.

So while the sky is not falling, every donation you make to this campaign puts us closer to maintaining our majority. Will you chip in $25 or more to get us back on track before our final FEC deadline of the election?
