Repeat

Hi John, From passing 14 key laws — including writing and passing the Health Care Affordability Act — to securing billions for constituents across Illinois' 14th District, Lauren’s proven commitment to making progress sets her apart. It’s precisely because of her strong leadership…

Spirit, career, and legacy

John, Every day, I’m reminded of the spirit, career, and legacy of the late Shirley Chisholm, who taught me an invaluable lesson: If you’re not invited to the table, you bring your own folding chair. In 1968, Shirley Chisholm became the first African-American woman to serve in Con…

Popping in

Hi John, Popping in to give you an update from the campaign trail. While Lauren travels between Illinois and D.C., she dedicates time to connecting with folks nationwide, sharing the incredible progress Democrats have made. We're talking about meaningful legislation that lowers co…

John, what do you say?

Here’s some not so great news: Our campaign is raising significantly less than we were this time last cycle. So we have a pretty big gap to close right now. To close this gap, we’re counting on grassroots supporters like you to make a contribution today. Will you pitch in, John? I…

The future we deserve

Hey John, Imagine if we had won the 2016 election and stopped the rise of MAGA extremism. Roe v. Wade would still be the law of the land.  The climate crisis would be addressed with the necessary urgency.  January 6th would never have happened.  Our communities would have stronger…

Did you know that over 70% of folks who receive this email won’t even open it? Of the 30% percent who do, less than a quarter will engage with our message. And just a fraction of that engaged group will send a donation. This is a major deciding factor when we plan the number of do…

Remember this:

John, I want to talk about reproductive freedom. What once was a deeply personal matter has now become an issue up for political debate, with reproductive rights — including access to abortion, contraception, and IVF — on the ballot this November. The shift has made critically per…

John — There is an entire political party equipped with millions of dollars financing bad-faith attacks aimed at undermining Democrats’ hard-won progress. The GOP knows that when Democrats participate in our democracy and engage fully, we win. That's why they are working so hard t…

$100k

Lauren’s opponent and far-right ideologue, James Marter, has raised $100,000 this cycle in his bid to unseat her. His war chest is growing, and extreme MAGA Republicans are trying to hold on to their House majority with everything they’ve got. But we won't stand idly by in the fac…
