Lipinski’s spouting Trump talking points - help Marie fight back

  John,   According to Dan Lipinski, fighting for healthcare for all and addressing the crisis of climate change makes one a “far-left extremist.”     That’s right - in a mailer sent to constituents this week, Lipinski parroted Trump Administration talking points to attack Marie and her …

Who’s funding our opponent

  John,   In this business, they say that you can tell a lot about your opponent from who’s funding them.   Last week, anti-choice group Susan B. Anthony’s List announced that they will be supporting Dan Lipinski once again in 2020. This group came to Dan’s aid last cycle, spending hundr…

He does not represent us

  John,   For years Dan Lipinski has pursued policies in Congress that have threatened the health and well being of his constituents.    Dan was one of only two Democrats to call on the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade last week. However, while Dan’s anti-choice agenda jeopardizes w…

Reproductive rights are under attack, add your name to protect Roe

  John,   Now more than ever, we need Democrats in Congress who will defend reproductive rights.    Yet, just last week, our opponent - a Democrat - joined over 200 Republicans to call on the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.    A recent national poll shows 77% of Americans suppor…

Women's rights are human rights

  Team,   Last week, Dan Lipinski signed on to a brief encouraging the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade.    Lipinski, who has the backing of the DCCC and party insiders, was one of only two Democrats to join over 200 Republicans in signing the brief. However, as Lipinski was once aga…

He's a Democrat working to overturn Roe

  John,    Over the course of his eight terms in Congress, Dan Lipinski has always said that he would jump at any chance to take away a woman’s right to choose.    Well, unfortunately yesterday Dan Lipinski kept his word.    My opponent was one of only two Democrats to join anti-choice…

Happy New Year: Let’s go get it in 2020!

  John,    Well, we all did it. We made it through a challenging year, together. Thank you for motivating me and my team everyday!   We are thrilled to be working side by side with all of our #IL03 Running Mates.   I wish all of you a year filled with success, joy and hope. I hope you …

We’re so close - can you donate before midnight?

  John,    Before you head off to your New Year's Eve plans, I wanted to send a quick note.   Together this year, we’ve accomplished so much more than anyone ever thought we could. We’re challenging a 15-year machine incumbent, no one ever said this would be easy. But with all of your he…

Before we elect Marie Newman in the New Year, we need your help

  Team,   Tonight is the most important fundraising deadline of 2019 and we need your help. By midnight tonight, we need to raise $2,763 to hit our goal for the quarter.   Right now, Dan Lipinski is probably frantantically calling every corporate PAC imaginable for last minute cash.    …

What these numbers say about us

  John,   I wanted to make sure that you saw Francisco’s note from earlier today - we know that this election will be won on the doors, and we need to make sure that we have the resources to reach voters in every corner of this district.   And we have exciting news - a group of donors ha…

How fundraising impacts our ground game

  Team,   We are in the final stretch of this campaign and everything we do counts. There’s no room for error.   So far, our field team has gone all around the district knocking on doors, collecting petition signatures, and identifying likely voters. But as we get closer to Election Day,…

We're not there yet

  John,   I’ve got to be straight with you here - I’m looking at our budget and we’re not where we need to be going into 2020.   Right now, we need to raise another $8,421 by Tuesday night to meet our end of quarter goal.   Dan Lipinski has allies in Washington and corporate interests …

She does not like asking for help, but she really needs you

  John,   Over the last few days our kids have told you about our family. They wanted to tell you about some of the challenges they’ve had to deal with, and how as a family we’ve developed solutions that work best for them. I know Marie will do the same thing for this district. Every d…

She’s gone above and beyond, can you?

  Hey there team, Marie’s son, Quinn here.  If there is one way to describe my mom, it’s that she is a problem solver. Whether it was with homework, helping me find the right school, or supporting me through all the up, downs, and in-betweens, she was always there for me. But what makes m…

My mom’s the best problem solver I know

  Hi John,   I’m Evie, Marie’s daughter. I don’t know if you know this about our family’s story, but 5 years ago I transitioned. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and my mom was by my side every step of the way. I’m lucky to have her as an advocate.    My mom has spent a lot of ti…

No corporate checks, just us

It's time for healthcare for all

Space Force or Space Farce?

  John,   In a day and age where conservatives claim that we don’t have enough money for vital social services, Dan Lipinski voted to pass a $738 billion defense policy bill that will establish a Space Force.    Let’s be clear here, there is absolutely no need for an extra-terrestrial br…

What we’re up against

Seriously...whose side is he on?

John, After weeks of hearings, our opponent is STILL not willing to acknowledge that President Trump violated his oath of office.    Dan Lipinski may choose to stand with Donald Trump on issues like health care and immigration, but this is about protecting our democracy.    If we can't…

An education shouldn't leave you in the red for years

Another step towards defeating the most conservative Democrat in Congress

He's playing politics with our most vulnerable

Together we can fight to protect women's rights

Team,  Tonight, I held my 220th meet and greet since I launched my campaign.   And I have to tell you, there’s one issue that comes up in every conversation I have with our neighbors - healthcare.   Our healthcare system is broken. You only have to listen to their stories to see why.  …

What I’m fighting for

Hi John,  I’m not going to sugar-coat anything here. The income divide is making it even harder to get by in our country. As working families continue to struggle--many with two or three jobs--the quality of life is unfortunately decreasing because too many of our lawmakers speak for corpor…

Why we need Marie in Congress

Hi John, Cory Booker here. I wanted to take a moment to talk to you about my good friend, Marie Newman. Her race for Congress is one of the most important in the country.   I’m proud to endorse Marie because she’s a small business owner and activist who believes that health care should be…

It takes a real Chicago woman to stand up to a bully

This is a crisis we can't ignore

Follow the money

John, When you follow the money, it’s pretty clear who my opponent is working for.    Why was Dan Lipinski the only Democrat in Illinois to vote for the Keystone XL pipeline? To vote against Obamacare? Why has he consistently ignored the well-being of his constituents?   Dan Lipinski ha…

Once again, the D.C. establishment is coming to rescue Dan Lipinski

John, Last week after I received Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s endorsement, Dan Lipinski put out a statement railing against the both of us. Now, some folks in the D.C. establishment are rallying around him. Look, I get it. The DCCC exists to elect Democrats to the House -- and a big par…
