Here’s what we did with your donations:

John, From the start of this campaign, I told you that whenever we ask you for money, we’ll let you know why -- because this effort belongs to you. In the last few weeks, thanks to you, we’ve hired two organizers. Next week, we’ll kick off our big petition signature drive to ensure we make…

Dan Lipinski’s long history of anti-immigrant policies

John, “It’s difficult for everybody.” “[The kids] seemed to be in relatively good spirits.” “What I saw was not as bad as the reports we’ve read.” These are all things that Dan Lipinski just said about the moral crisis happening at our border. The idea that he would go out of his way to …

15 years ago in the smokiest of back rooms

John, This week, we’re celebrating a special anniversary in our office. It’s the (last) Dan-iversary -- marking 15 years since the infamous day in which Dan Lipinski was gifted a seat in Congress by his father, Bill. This story perfectly encapsulates Chicago politics: In what we can only …

The very last “Dan-iversary”

John, I get asked a lot about how our district -- a district that hasn’t had a Republican representative in 60 years -- could be held by an anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant, anti-health care Democrat. And it’s a very fair question. 70% of our district is pro-choice, more than 80% be…

Countering the big money game in Congress

John, Congress is in August recess right now. That means our opponent is traveling the country, courting high-dollar donors for his re-election campaign. This is how Dan Lipinski does business. When he filed his last fundraising report with the FEC, just 1% of what he’d raised had come fro…

Thanks for joining the team

Dear Friend, Thank you for taking the first step toward winning back IL-03.  The way we'll win is by building the kind of grassroots campaign that can take on deep-pocketed interest groups. That starts with you—thanks.  We'll be in touch with important updates and ways you can help the campaign,…

From the bottom of my heart

John, I’m so happy to report that we hit our budget goal last night to fund the efforts that will help get us on the ballot -- and that’s because of people like you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. When I decided to run for office again, I knew it would be hard on me and my family…

Machine shenanigans

John, We’re closing the books on July fundraising tonight, and right now, our focus is on ramping up our organizing efforts to collect the signatures needed to qualify for the ballot. My team tells me we’re just $814 away from our budget goal. Can you do me a favor and make a donation befo…

Hurdles

John, Our organizers are preparing to launch a big effort in the weeks ahead to make sure Marie’s name is on the ballot against Dan Lipinski’s. Right now, we still need to raise $2,329 before tonight’s budget deadline to make sure this grassroots push is fully funded. Can you make a donati…

Can I get your autograph?

John, Asking for autographs is something my team and I are going to do a LOT in the weeks ahead. No, we’re not heading out to the Bears training camp. We’re Marie’s field organizers responsible for gathering the signatures needed to get her name on the ballot next spring. I requested a pr…

We need to make sure my name is on the ballot

John, I made a promise to you at the beginning of this campaign that, if I’m going to ask you for a donation, I’d always let you know where your money’s going. So fair warning, this email ends with a sincere request for you to chip in -- but first, let me tell you why. Next month, we’re b…

I need your thoughts on this

John, As of this week, I’m proud to say that I’ve already had 120 face-to-face meetings in communities across the district. That’s what this election is all about -- hearing about the concerns voters have in the Third District so we can finally have a representative who goes to Congress to…

When I asked you to help us open our headquarters...

John, I told you at the very beginning that I’m always going to be transparent about the way we’re building this campaign. When we asked for your help a few months back to open up our campaign headquarters, you came through big time -- and now I have a big update for you: We signed a lease…

1%. Seriously.

John, Our team just went through Dan Lipinski’s July FEC report and here’s something that jumps out immediately: Only 1% of the money he raised in April, May, and June came from individuals giving under $200. Seriously. The rest of his funds come from special-interests and high-dollar dona…

Shoes

John, I’m running to be your representative, so I think it’s important that you know where I stand on critical issues. But I believe it’s equally important for you to understand my opponent’s priorities. Last week Dan Lipinski joined the conservative talking heads at Fox News and Breitbart …

I'm asking you to make a monthly donation to our campaign. Here's why:

John, When I decided to run for Congress again, some people thought I was nuts for taking on the establishment and the machine a second time. But I’m doing this because I believe that Illinois’ 3rd District deserves a representative who won’t sell us out to the highest bidder, and I’m bettin…

This is going to make news

John, I’ve got some pretty incredible news to share: We’re filing our quarterly report with the Federal Elections Commission this week. That means the whole world is about to learn a lot about our progress -- and I want to share a few highlights with you first: In the second quarter our te…

There is a moral crisis happening in our country, and Dan Lipinski has said nothing

John, Separating children from their parents. Locking people in cages. Denying them access to basic hygiene products. There’s a full-blown crisis happening at our border. Not only is it completely immoral, it’s inhumane. Now, Donald Trump is threatening ICE raids across the country, includ…

I don’t take money from corporate PACs

John, I’m going to get right to it. The FEC deadline is just a few hours away, and I need a few of you amazing supporters to help. Here’s why: Our campaign isn’t like my opponent’s -- over half of the money Dan Lipinski has raised this year has come from corporate PACs. I don’t take money …

You deserve to know exactly where your money is going

John, We know you get a lot of fundraising emails. That’s why it’s important to us that we’re straightforward about why we’re asking for donations right now and where your money will go. Because this campaign belongs to you -- you deserve to know. We’re looking to hire two more field organ…

Two people I want to hire

John, I told you from the start that when I reached out asking for donations, I’d let you know exactly where your money is going -- and I intend to keep that promise. On Sunday, we’re closing the books on this quarter, and we’ve set an ambitious goal of hiring two more field organizers and …

Marie isn’t afraid of the D.C. establishment

John, Marie let you know what the D.C. establishment did to our campaign the other day -- it’s a signal of exactly what we're up against in this race. Sunday’s FEC deadline is so important -- we’re counting on this grassroots team to ensure we can take on anything the political machine throws…
