We’re doing everything

John — Republicans just passed the largest handout to billionaires in HISTORY. I voted NO on Republicans’ budget because it rips away trillions of dollars from hardworking people and hands it to the wealthiest among us. Our best bet to fight back is by taking back the House majori…

Hope to close the gap

John — I’ll start with the bad news: unfortunately, our energy didn’t pick up last night, and we missed our April mid-month goal.  But the good news? It’s still early enough for us to close the gap before the end of the month. I know we can get there, but we’ll either need a few f…

Before tonight

John — we have just 6 hours and $671 left to hit our goal before our deadline expires this evening.  Lauren is working hard in Washington to stand up to Trump’s agenda that attacks working people, but that puts her squarely in the way of the MAGA agenda.  Right-wing donors will d…

Donations aren’t the only way to make an impact

John — As Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the GOP happily barrel towards a recession, Americans across the country are concerned with the direction of this administration. I’m reaching out to you today, John, to humbly ask for a donation. I get it, sometimes emails like these can fee…

Lauren refuses to sit quietly

John — Our mid-month fundraising deadline is just days away, and we’re looking to raise $3,000 before Tuesday to fuel our work to defend Lauren’s seat and put Democrats one step closer to flipping the House blue.  If you don’t need to hear anything else and are ready to pitch in a…

What keeps Lauren going?

John,  I recently asked Lauren what keeps her going when times get hard, and she told me something I don’t think I’ll ever forget. She said that when she’s feeling down, she asks herself if someone’s life is better because of the work she’s doing in Congress. And as you all know, …

BREAKING: Republicans just passed their billionaire-first budget

Breaking News, John: Republicans just passed their billionaire-first budget. They CHEERED as they approved gutting Medicaid, kicking millions of people off their health care coverage to pay for tax handouts to Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s billionaire donors. It’s unbelievable. It’…

The results are in

When we organize and show up, we win. John, Last week, voters across Illinois and Wisconsin went to the polls — and the results sent a clear message. In Illinois, municipal elections showed that communities want leaders who will actually fight for them, not billionaires or corpora…

Life in Congress: Bills, votes, and Skittles

My secret to managing late nights and lots of work: John,  When the work gets long and the nights get late in Congress, there’s one thing that helps me keep going… Skittles. 😅 Made right here in IL-14, Skittles are my go-to snack during those busy nights (the purple packet, obviou…
