Friend, I just stepped off the debate stage in Chicago and have two important things to ask you:

First, if you're frustrated by Darren Bailey's lying and fear-mongering tonight and angered by his far-right extremist agenda to control women's bodies, lower wages for workers, and carry water for Donald Trump, then I need you to help me get out the vote for Democrats.

Second, anybody who's been paying attention knows that Juliana and I have gotten big things done since taking office.

But most people across Illinois didn't watch tonight's debate. They aren't receiving emails like the one you're reading. I assume you know somebody who's tuned out.

Will you please make sure your friends and family have made a plan to vote?

Ask them to use IllinoisVotes2022.com to request a vote by mail ballot, locate an election site or dropbox, or register to vote for the first time.

Make a Plan to Vote

I'll end with this: Our fundamental rights are on the ballot.

Darren Bailey is ready to roll them back by imposing a dangerous set of policies cosigned by the racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, twice-impeached former president.

Well, we have a message for Darren Bailey and his ilk: We will not go back!

Let's not take a single thing for granted over these next three weeks. Thank you.

JB
