Before the weekend

John,   A few days ago, we shared our ambitious 500-contribution goal for the month.  Here’s why: With the GOP’s hold on the House majority, reproductive rights, accessible health care, our right to vote, and so much more are on the line.   Under a Republican-led House, we’ve had …

Shady

John, I’m unafraid to call it how I see it: James Marter is a self-serving extreme MAGA Republican who lacks the courage, compassion, and ability to lead. Period. I’m also unafraid to meet the needs of IL-14 working families with the urgency, tenacity, empathy, and resourcefulness…

Just a second

John — this will take just a second.   The days are getting longer, the sun feels warmer... Summer's practically knocking on the door.   Folks who have been on our team for a while may know that, for us, summer means a considerable dip in fu…

This is just sad

Nothing screams, “I’m a corrupt and extreme MAGA loyalist ” like this unhinged, unintelligible post James Marter made attacking Lauren after Trump’s verdict was handed down this week: Honestly, this is just sad. This complete loser thinks that putting even a shred of faith behin…

Hey John — I promise this is the last time I’ll send you a note before our end-of-month deadline tonight. I’m reaching out because this grassroots team has been instrumental over the last few months in powering our campaign to protect this seat. And my team tells me that since the…

The site crashed

In response to yesterday’s GUILTY verdict, MAGA donors flooded the Republican donation platform at an unprecedented rate, so much so that the site crashed: John — did you know that grassroots supporters just like you are what is keeping another extreme Republican out of Congress?…

Guilty

John, Today, a jury found Donald Trump GUILTY, convicting him on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal campaign finance violations during the 2016 election. Can you believe it? Despite today’s verdict, the former president and MAGA Republicans including La…
