Hi John — this is Emma, Lauren’s finance director.

I just checked ActBlue, and we're pacing way behind our mid-month goal. The deadline expires tomorrow, and falling short will set us back right before the end of the quarter and at a big moment in Lauren’s campaign.

That’s why I’m reaching out to you, John. I’ll explain more in a moment, but if you’re ready to help us close the gap, you can click here to make a grassroots donation.

Meeting these goals ensures we’re on track to report strong fundraising numbers at the end of every quarter.

When our numbers go public, it’s important to show Lauren’s opponents — including her new primary opponent — that she has a strong coalition of grassroots supporters that are ready to reelect her to represent IL-14.

I just crunched the numbers, and if 14 more donors from your neighborhood chip in before the deadline, we’ll be on track to collect the resources we need to respond to attacks and spread the word about Lauren’s proven track record.

So I’m asking one last time: Can Lauren count on you to help us reach our goal and keep our campaign’s momentum moving forward?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you for stepping up, John.

— Emma Benson
