Hi there, friend.

As we close in on the final FEC fundraising deadline of 2025, I wanted to share a quick update on where we stand, and how you can help us finish strong.

We set a modest but meaningful goal: $25,000 raised before midnight on December 31. Right now, we’re sitting at just over $12,300 left to go.

We’ve still got ground to cover, but if 1 in 5 supporters reading this email chips in $3 today, we’ll close the gap with room to spare.

Here’s why this matters:

Like it or not, pundits and party powerbrokers are going to judge our strength based on these year-end numbers. Hitting this goal sends a clear message: our campaign is picking up steam heading into 2026.

And after everything we’ve done together – from fighting Big Pharma, protecting health care, creating good-paying jobs in Western Illinois – I’m not about to cede an inch of ground to MAGA extremists.

This is a must-keep district if we’re going to flip the House, and your support helps keep our campaign strong, independent, and people-powered.

Please consider making a donation before the clock runs out on 2025.

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

Thanks for believing in what we’re building.
