Folks, our advantage here in IL-06 is gone.

First, RealClearPolitics rated this district a pure toss-up.

Then, FiveThirtyEight projected that I’m stuck in a 50/50 dead heat with my radical right-wing GOP challenger, Keith Pekau.

Now, the experts at Cook Political Report decided to shift our race rating one full category to the right in Pekau’s favor.

We always knew this race would be close, but just four days from Election Day, we really weren’t expecting this. These race rating shifts are a huge wake-up call – and worse, a right-wing super PAC just spent $1.8 MILLION on attack ads against me in a last-ditch effort to buy this seat. 

It's all going to come down to turnout, so we need to make sure voters know just how competitive and consequential IL-06 really is. Will you rush $25 to help us make an immediate response and continue reaching out to voters across the district?

With all three of these outlets making drastic changes to their predictions about battleground IL-06, we can be sure that Republicans are celebrating.

Radical propagandists like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity and election-denying billionaires like Richard Uihlein are all helping Pekau fear-monger his way into Congress by fanning the flames of hate and division in our district.

IL-06 voters deserve to know how these national GOP elites are interfering in our elections. Will you rush $25 to make sure we can prove our toss-up designation WRONG and win with historic Democratic turnout on Election Day?
