Lauren left a message for you

John, Lauren has an important message for you: Republicans are trying to cut Social Security. They’re spending hundreds of millions of dollars to keep control of the House so they can push through their harmful agenda and slash vital programs that millions…

Marter’s extreme MAGA agenda

John — Lauren is up against Republican Jim Marter whose dangerous and extreme MAGA agenda threatens our community and values. Marter has built his campaign on divisive and harmful policies. He has criticized Lauren over her efforts to secure funding for critical projects in IL-14,…

Backward

John, When the Supreme Court's conservative majority dismantled Roe v. Wade, it erased access to vital reproductive health care for millions of women. Despite this, Republicans are relentlessly pursuing even more oppressive restrictions, including a nationwide abortion ban. I won’…

Clapping back

John, we have to bump this email to the top of your inbox. It’s too good to miss! We have an opponent who thinks he can not only attack Lauren but that he can declare he is winning this race for IL-14 and get away with it. Seriously?! Scroll down to see these unhinged social media…

Laughing out loud

John — this comment on Jim Marter’s social media had us laughing out loud. See for yourself: 😂 😂 😂 While Marter will do and say anything to push his extreme MAGA agenda, Lauren is working hard for the American people. Let’s be real — Lauren does not play around when it comes to m…

Lauren’s work on the climate crisis

Mary, Peggy, Rosalie, and Richard

Why is 550 significant for our team this election? Supporters have chipped in 550 $4 contributions toward Lauren’s reelection this November. That’s $4 from Mary in Oswego to send Lauren back to Congress for her fourth term. $4 from Peggy in Naperville to show Jim Marter that this …

Paid off

John, When we started this journey in 2018, we were told we were trying to achieve the impossible. Who would have thought we would make history by flipping a Republican-held district and electing the youngest Black woman to ever serve in Congress? You did. Right alongside you, we …

John — I need to be transparent with you: we didn’t reach our mid-month goal. Every dollar counts more than ever at this critical juncture in our campaign because not meeting our fundraising targets puts us at a disadvantage. Failing to reach our goals limits our outreach efforts,…

So much

John, we have achieved so much together over the past five years. In 2018, we did what many said was impossible and made history by electing the youngest Black woman to ever serve in Congress. Then this team overcame staggering political odds in 2020 by propelling me to my second …

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…

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…

$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…
