Thank you, Cook County.

John, Despite all our hard work and waiting for every vote to be counted, I’m sorry to share that we’ve fallen short this evening. I have called Eileen O’Neill Burke to congratulate her on her victory.   Getting to this point took hard work, long hours, late nights, and lots of missed bedtimes. Whi…

Call to action!

John, Hopefully, you took a day to rest and recover from the chaos of Election Day. But now, we need you to plug back in. As you know, our race remains too close to call. Right now, the most important thing you can do to secure our victory is sign up to volunteer at the Board of Elections to monito…

It ain't over!

John, By now you’ve heard the news that our race right now is too close to call. We are within 9,500 votes of Eileen O’Neill Burke, and the margin between us has been consistently shrinking.  We’re still parsing the data and waiting for updates from the Board of Elections on the outstanding ballots…

Cynical lies

John, Enough is enough. For weeks, I’ve watched as my opponent has raked in hundreds of thousands in huge checks from right-wing, anti-choice Republican donors–then used that same cash to buy ads lying about my own record.  I get it. She knows that to win this race, she has to do everything she can…

BREAKING: Republicans urged to vote in our Democratic primary

John,  We’ve told you before what we’re up against in this campaign. But now, it’s all being laid bare. On Friday, the president of the Fraternal Order of Police urged Republicans to pull Democratic ballots in the March 19th primary election to vote for Eileen O’Neill Burke. It would be shocking–ex…

Why are MAGA donors funding my opponent?

John,  You’ve heard that my opponent is now self-funding–she broke the campaign finance caps last week by giving herself $100,000. But, did you know she then proceeded to accept nearly $1 million in huge checks from dangerous right-wing, anti-choice Republican donors—the same people who have funded…

WATCH: Our new TV ad is up!

John,  Today, we’re hitting the airwaves with a new TV ad, and this time, we’re laying bare the stark differences between Clayton and our opponent.  The ad tells the story about Eileen Burke’s work to wrongfully prosecute and convict a 10 year-old Black child of a murder he didn’t commit.

My opponent is self-funding

John, My opponent just announced she’s going to self-fund her campaign.  This is a big deal. It means she can write herself a big check. It means she can accept unlimited amounts of cash from her right wing Republican donors that have already pumped tens of thousands of dollars into her account.  B…

What we’re up against

Dear John,  There’s less than a month to go before Election Day, and the hotly contested race for State’s Attorney is getting even hotter every day.  Yesterday, WBEZ reported that my opponent’s campaign is bankrolled by dangerous, right wing donors–from anti-abortion extremist Stephen Daday to hate …
