Team, we'll get straight to the point: our final FEC finance deadline is in just three days, and we still haven’t met our $80,000 end-of-year goal.

Here’s why this deadline matters: campaign fundraising peaks right before an election, and drops off a cliff in the months afterwards – making it difficult to sustain even the most basic campaign operation.

But there are several reasons why it’s absolutely critical to have reliable funding all year round in a district like IL-06. Your contributions help us:

• Support key staff
• Maintain and update our voter database
• Keep up regular communications with supporters and donors
• Bolster Democratic enthusiasm across Illinois

The work we do in 2023 will determine our path forward in 2024 and beyond. So please, can Sean count on you to rush $25 or more to help us hit our critical end-of-year goal?

We can’t thank you enough for your support.

– Team Casten
