I just received some breaking news that will change the trajectory of our battleground race.

RealClearPolitics is officially calling IL-06 a “Toss-Up,” which means it’s clear the six figures national Republicans have dumped into attack ads against us is working.

After the news dropped, I immediately called my Campaign Manager to get an update on our fundraising numbers and see if we have room in the budget to mount a massive response.

Don said that even after he reached out this morning we’re still falling $15,388 behind our goal, and he implored me to reach out to you ASAP. So can I count on you to rush $5, $10, or whatever you can before our final FEC deadline of the election?

We’re locking in our final investments of the campaign in the next 48 hours and if we don’t have enough money in the bank by then, we’ll have to cut back our advertising and voter outreach efforts.

Look, that’s the worst-case scenario – but I know not to underestimate this grassroots team. If you’re with us, pitch in $5, $10, or more right away.

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

You’ve come through for us time and again and I know this time will be no different.
