Families are on the hook for Republicans’ health care betrayal

John,  Republicans betrayed us on health care, but let's be honest, we knew that they would.  Now, families will be on the hook for premiums that have doubled and tripled in price, at a time when everything costs too much as it is.  Some Illinois families will see a sixfold increa…

From the youngest to one of the most productive

John, I arrived in Congress in 2019, the youngest black woman ever elected to the House. I made a lot of history that year: the first person of color, first woman, and first millennial elected to represent Illinois' 14th district. And to do it, I beat a four-term Republican incumb…

The GOP’s war on health care just got deadlier

John, In 2019, I introduced the Health Care Affordability Act to make sure that whatever happened, people could afford their health care. My Health Care Affordability Act was passed into law with the larger American Rescue Plan and has become incredibly popular in the years since.…

Lauren in action

Lauren's the real deal, John.. While other politicians run from their constituents, she's been showing up across the district, holding town halls in every county, and actually listening to their concerns. When she sees a problem, she attacks it head-on. Take the DeKalb Municipal …

We’re in a pickle here

We’re behind this month – and we need your help John — I’ll get right into it.  We’re in a bit of a pickle. Our mid-month fundraising has slowed down, and we’re slipping behind where we need to be to keep Lauren’s campaign on track. Nothing about this moment is easy – not the stake…

Before the mid-month deadline hits…

We need your help to stay on track this month John, can I ask you something directly? Is there anything I could say that would convince you to pitch in $5 to support our campaign before we close the books on our mid-month goal? What if I told you that this campaign runs on the supp…

As 2025 ends, I’d like to hear from you

Your voice matters – I’d appreciate a moment of your time Hi John, as we close out 2025, I’ve been thinking a lot about the conversations I’ve had with families across Illinois. This has been a year of change – and for many people, a year of real strain.  From rising costs to uncer…

A 2025 surprise in Tennessee shows what is possible. KEEP REPUBLICANS SCARED Hey, John, you may have seen the news from Tennessee: a special election has shaken up what many thought was a safe Republican seat. Even in a district Trump carried by more than 20 points in 2024,…

John, there are a lot of loud voices dominating the political conversation, and I’ll be honest, they don’t always have the best interests at heart. I’m different. When I visit places across the 14th District, one of my first steps is to sit down with local leaders and put together…

Unacceptable

Hey, John, remember this spring when my committee discovered that Kristi Noem wanted taxpayer money for a brand new plane? A plane that could cost up to $50 million out of the U.S. Coast Guard budget. Through my oversight work, we’ve now found out that she’s bought not one plane,…

Can you spare $2?

John, we’ve got two quick questions for you: If you knew that you could contribute $2, and it would help Lauren and Democrats fight to win back the House, wouldn’t it be the best $2 you ever spent? If you knew that $2 would help us keep Lauren’s seat and defeat Republicans who ju…

If we win, 2026 shifts. John — Aftyn Behn here.  No one thought we would have an opportunity to flip a seat this year.  Not the establishment, not the media, and certainly not the GOP.  But we won our primary with pure grassroots power and showed what’s possible for Democrats in …

The cuts to health care are devastating

John, the cuts that Republicans have proposed to health care are devastating. I’ve spoken with people across the 14th District, and they’ve told me just how concerned they are about the impacts of these cuts to the care they need. Without support from Medicaid, nursing homes and r…
