Here we go, team.

If there was ever a doubt that national Republicans are laser-focused on flipping IL-17, this should settle it: In the final week of this election, GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy is flying into our district to headline a last-minute fundraiser for our opponent Esther King.

Pitch in an urgent $10, $35, or even $50 right away to help us counter McCarthy's eleventh-hour fundraising surge for my opponent. Your donation will still go a long way in helping us keep IL-17 and the House blue.

This fundraiser with Kevin McCarthy speaks volumes about Esther King and the type of campaign she’s running.

Friday will be 4 days from Election Day, and she's choosing to spend her time at a private fundraiser with Kevin McCarthy.

In the last few weeks, King has doubled down on her opposition to reproductive rights, and this all-but affirms her commitment to rubber stamp McCarthy's entire agenda. Think about it. She's not out meeting with voters, but she is taking financial support for the man she's hoping will be her future boss!

We're not letting King get away with this, so in response, we’re going to hold a little fundraiser of our own. It’s online only, and we’re not asking for a massive check at a private event. But if everyone reading this email can send in  $10, $35, or even $50 right now, we’ll completely nullify whatever cash King raises alongside McCarthy on Friday night. 

So what do you say, team, will you chip in today to help us out-raise Esther King and McCarthy?

Let’s do this,
