20 days and counting

Hi John: Senator Durbin said I could reach out about the Senate runoff election. I have advanced to a runoff in Georgia on January 5 that will likely determine the control of the U.S. Senate -- and the fate of our democracy. I'd like to explain why I'm running -- and why I need your support …

We are the change

We need your help, John: You are the reason our campaign in Illinois was so successful -- and this team was instrumental in electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House. Now, only one thing stands in the way of Democrats "building back better" -- and that's Senate Majority Leader Mi…

It all comes down to this, John

The fight for control of the Senate is coming down to the wire, John. On January 5, Georgia voters will decide whether the Senate remains in Republicans’ hands -- or whether we send Jon Ossoff, Rev. Raphael Warnock, and a Democratic majority to D.C. All eyes are on Georgia -- and after Presid…

Flip the Senate red to blue

John, There is no question that the Democratic Congress and the Biden Administration will work as hard as they can to make progress for this nation and undo the damage of the last four years, but as long as Mitch McConnell controls the Senate, he’ll have the option to stand in the way. Senato…

Beat the GOP in Georgia

John, Joe Biden turned Georgia blue -- now it’s time to finish the job by flipping its two Senate seats. Incumbent Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue have shown that they are in this fight for themselves -- not for the people of Georgia. From attacking affordable health care …

Georgia, Georgia, Georgia

John, Election Day may be long past for most of us, but voters in Georgia are headed to the polls one more time on January 5 to elect not one, but two new U.S. Senators in a crucial runoff election. Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock have the momentum to flip these seats blue -- and if …

This is important, John

John, I know folks are ready for Thanksgiving this week -- and so am I. But I also have Georgia on my mind. Because I know that if we win the runoffs there, we’ll be electing a Democratic majority. Mitch McConnell has failed the American people as Senate Majority Leader -- and the GOP Senate …

Georgia is the 🔑 to a Democratic Senate

Can you believe it, John? Election Day has come and gone, but our fight isn’t over yet. On January 5, the runoffs in Georgia will decide whether we elect a Democratic Senate majority -- or if Mitch McConnell can veto Joe Biden’s Cabinet and our people-first Democratic agenda. We need your su…
