Folks,

This race is getting closer by the day – so with just 7 days before Election Day, I need to ask you to chip in $7 to defend our battleground district.

And, before you can say it: yes, I know that this is a fundraising gimmick, but the reasons for it couldn’t be more serious.

• GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy will be headlining a fundraiser for my far-right opponent. McCarthy knows how important IL-06 is to seizing the House majority – and he’s made it his number one priority to flip our district red.
• FiveThirtyEight designated our district as one of the most competitive in the nation. We need to turn out every single Democratic voter if we’re going to hold this critical seat.
• The path to the House majority runs through IL-06. Our progress on climate change, reproductive rights, voting rights, and affordable healthcare are hanging in the balance.

Asking you for $7 with 7 days until Election Day is a little silly, I’ll admit, but the truth is that this race will have huge implications for our country.

Online contributions are critical to funding our Get Out the Vote program. Can we count on you to pitch in $7 to ensure record-breaking Democratic turnout in this midterm?

Whether you’re able to give $7 or $700, every single dollar counts.

Thank you,
Sean
