Big news, team.

FiveThirtyEight just updated their predicted outlook in Illinois’ 17th District.

As of 10/21/22, Eric is the “slight favorite” over Esther King. They’re also projecting a razor-thin popular vote margin in this race -- 51% for Democrats and 49% for Republicans.

It wasn't long ago that FiveThirtyEight had our race as an exact 50-50 tossup. It's clear we are moving in the right direction, but in a swing district like IL-17, things can change quickly and in either direction…

Kevin McCarthy’s super PAC just announced plans to ramp up their budget for TV attack ads to boost our anti-choice opponent. Now is our chance to keep pushing and prevent our opponent from recapturing any momentum.

Will you help keep IL-17 and the House blue by giving our campaign a boost in these final weeks? Even a $5 donation will have a huge impact on our get-out-the-vote efforts.

Residents of IL-17 know Eric is the homegrown candidate who understands the issues they face. And they know he’s the only candidate with a track record of delivering truth to people.

We’ve worked too hard to let a dark-money super PAC determine the outcome of this race. But we have to ensure that every undecided voter knows the GOP’s attacks against Eric are misleading and in bad faith.

Every donation will help us do just that – so chip in whatever you can now.

Thank you as always,

Team Sorensen
