Something happened

Hey John — I wanted to take a moment to look back on a significant election year: 2010. At first, it may not be obvious. I instinctively remember that time as having just finished my Master's program at John Hopkins University and starting my job at the Department of Health and Hu…

Send them packing

Congressional Republicans have yet to use their majority to present a unified plan to help the American people by lowering costs, mitigating global warming, expanding access to affordable health care, and increasing safety in our communities. They don’t have an agenda centered on …

Looking forward

John — do you have a second? I didn't see your name on our list of endorsers so I wanted to reach out to you, personally, to humbly ask if you'll sign on to support my reelection. I am so grateful for your support over the years and commitment to IL-14 values and Team Underwood. …

Extreme MAGA Republican donors and dark-money special interests are spending millions of dollars every week to undermine the progress Democrats have made. But with your support, we can ensure voters know about the incredible work Lauren has done for our district. Lauren has worked…

IL-14’s history

John, we have some interesting facts and a little history lesson on Illinois’ 14th district for you. Did you know that before Lauren won this seat in 2018, IL-14 had been a reliable Republican stronghold for over a century? Here’s a quick snapshot: The GOP dominated IL-14 for mor…

Hey

Hey John, I’m reaching out one more time today because this election is too important to sit out. For years, Republicans in Congress have failed to deliver for the American people. Instead, extreme MAGA Republicans, like my opponent, Jim Marter, are advancing the dangerous Proj…

We can’t let them push us back

When the Supreme Court's ultra-conservative majority dismantled Roe v. Wade, it erased access to vital reproductive health care for millions of women. Despite this, Republicans are striving for even more extreme measures, including a nationwide abortion ban and restrictions on …

Hi John, The October 24 FEC filing deadline is our last major hurdle before Election Day. It’s our final chance to prove that we have what it takes to finish strong — or risk losing ground when it matters most. If we hit our goal: We’ll have what we need to fund our final voter ou…

Marter….again

John — this weekend, hundreds of Trump supporters rallied in Peoria, where Jim Marter spread dangerous lies about the 2020 election. He peddled the same old MAGA talking points claiming it was stolen and that "Democrats cheat." No matter how many times Marter and his supporters co…

Our impact

Hi John, It’s not my favorite thing to email you on a Sunday and to tell you the truth, I wouldn’t be reaching out today if it wasn’t important. Another thing that’s not my favorite is asking for campaign donations. But your support powers our work to help, protect, and improve ou…

Project 2025 will devastate our rights

It’s nonsense and he knows it

Hey John — here to share another one of Jim Marter’s attempts to smear Lauren and spread misinformation. Really?? This guy went to his social media to attack Lauren and thought, “This will really get her! I’m going to leave this here.” Major eye roll! 🙄 His post is a bunch of non…
