First, Then, Now

FIRST: Donald Trump issued a mandate to right-wing extremists in Congress to defund the social supports that our hard-earned tax dollars pay for to give a handout to the wealthiest individuals in the country. THEN: Republicans in Congress responded by passing a budget that kicks m…

This is the number one thing people are concerned about

Do you know what the number one problem we hear from constituents is, John? Cost of living. We don’t have to tell you things are more expensive, and consumer confidence that things will get better with the GOP’s farce of a budget is at an all-time low. Americans see through the gr…

It’s time to make them pay for their greed

Based on the devastating vote Republicans took last week, one thing is clear, John: we can’t afford to fall short in 2026. That means that we have to put in the work NOW to make sure we’re prepared to take back control of the House majority and set our country back on a path towar…

I want to be clear about what this budget does to Medicaid

John, I want to take a moment to really talk about the impacts that deep cuts to Medicaid will have on our health care infrastructure, but if you’re short on time today and ready to help Democrats win back the House, will you pitch in right now? If you've saved your payment inform…

Sign on to tell Kristi Noem hands off our rights

As the top Democrat on the Homeland Security Subcommittee, Lauren is laser-focused on holding Kristi Noem and the illegal actions of the Department of Homeland Security accountable. Republicans are trying to let DHS go unchecked and hand them billions more dollars, even as they fl…

A more perfect union

John — This Independence Day is a challenging one in the face of Donald Trump’s extreme administration, but it’s more important now than it’s ever been before to reaffirm our commitment to our democracy, independence, and freedom for all. Our democracy isn’t given, John, we must f…

Ashamed

John: Republicans just rammed through their indefensible tax scam. It’s a shameful, cruel, indefensible bill that will leave millions of Americans without health care coverage and food assistance to give tax cuts to Republicans’ billionaire donors.  It’s a disgrace, and Democrats …

I’ll vote no.

Senate Republicans just rammed through their indefensible tax scam. John: Senate Republicans just rammed through their indefensible tax scam. I want you to hear it from me: I’ll be voting NO when it comes back to the House. Here’s what Republicans don’t want you to know about thei…

still short

  Hey there, John — I just got a text from our finance team, we’re still just $180 short of this month’s goal. Our team has just a few hours before we submit our numbers to the FEC, and I would love to see your name on our list of supporters for this quarter, John. Can I count on y…

John, you’re the solution

We have a problem. Here’s the problem, John: We’re still $3,416 behind on our FEC deadline goal. We’ve still got a few hours to make up ground but we need a boost fast. The solution? If everyone reading this messaging pitched in just $10, we’d hit this goal before you can say, “wi…

A transformative tomorrow

John, We're closing in on the end of the quarter deadline, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Missing this crucial goal could derail our summer strategy, and summer is our BEST opportunity to connect with voters across Illinois' 14th. The power to make a difference lies in our han…

Good news, bad news

I’ll get straight to the bad news first: we’re a little behind where we expected to be at this point to hit our quarterly goal. But the good news? If everyone on this team reading this message is able to pitch in today, we’ll crush this goal and start July off on a good foot. We’r…

Anything?

John — is there anything we can say to convince you to match our average contribution before our end-of-quarter deadline passes? PITCH IN $24.65 PITCH IN ANOTHER AMOUNT What if we told you that House Democrats are just a few seats away from gaining a majority in the Ho…

Did you see Lauren’s email?

We’re forwarding this note from Lauren in case you missed it. This is the first end-of-quarter FEC deadline since a primary opponent entered the race — and we need to show just how strong this grassroots campaign really is. We know this team can rise to the moment. But the truth i…

Let me explain why this deadline really matters

Hi John,  We’ve just entered the final days of the second quarter — and I hope you’ll give me a moment to explain why this FEC deadline is such a big deal. This is our first public fundraising report since a primary challenger jumped into the race — and it’s more important than ev…

Wish we could chat over coffee.

Your input is crucial to addressing the real challenges faced by working families in our community. Hey John, how are you doing? I’m not just asking, I really want to know. With all of the chaos coming out of Washington, it’s important to me that I hear from this grassroots team. …
