Last week, I was glad to have the opportunity to speak at the Illinois 10th Congressional District Democrats’ Candidate Appreciation Reception.
I was excited to be able to interact directly with hundreds of the volunteers, activists and supporters who have spent years building Democratic and progressive infrastructure across the district, and to have the chance to tell them about why I’m running for Congress.
The 10th District is a bellwether for the rest of the country. We can set the tone for Democrats everywhere by showing that voters are ready for a bold, progressive response to the Republicans’ assault on the middle class and the foundations of the American Dream.
So today, I'm asking for your help as I move ahead with my campaign for Congress. I'd like you to do 2 things:
First, click here to watch the brief 3-minute video of my speech from the 10th Dems event.
Next, please send the link for this video to at least 5 friends, family members, neighbors or co-workers. Let them know what's at stake in this election, why you’re involved and why they should be too. Tell them that, together, we can not only turn this district blue, but we can ensure it’s held by a strong, progressive representative.
If you can, please help even more by donating what you can. We’re building our campaign on donations from individual voters like you--not from big corporations and their lobbyists.
Thanks so much for helping us spread the word.
