It’s Juliana Stratton.

Last week, I reached out to you many times about our August fundraising deadline. We pushed hard to reach our goal — and unfortunately, we didn’t get there.

I won’t sugarcoat it: Falling short stings. But it also reminds me how important every single supporter is in this fight.

We’re facing opponents with millions in corporate PAC money. They want to buy this race. But we’re proving that people-powered campaigns can win — and you are at the heart of it.

So I am asking today, can you help us start the month off strong and make up where we came short?

If you can, please chip in $3 — or whatever you can — today. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps power my campaign, fight for Illinois families, defend our democracy, and show that ordinary people can stand up to extraordinary forces.

I’ve spent my life standing up for communities across Illinois. I’m ready to take that same fight to Washington. But we can’t do it without each other. Your support today can make all the difference.

We may have fallen short on Sunday — but together, we can turn it around. Let’s prove that grassroots energy, not big money, decides this race.

Thank you for standing with me. Let’s finish this together.
