Spending big

John, We need to raise $10,000 to keep our TV ad campaign running strong across Illinois’ 14th district. Why? Because Jim Marter and his extreme MAGA allies are spending big to spread disinformation about Lauren and distort her record. Our TV ad is a vital tool to cut through the …

Unserious

John, We are two weeks out from Election Day and Jim Marter is ramping up his dangerous campaign. See for yourself: At a Trump rally in Illinois, Marter echoed Trump’s big lie about the 2020 election and received an uproar of cheers. He is dangerous and unserious. We cannot let h…

Lauren needs your help

John — Our historic win in 2018 was just the beginning. Not only did we elect Lauren as the first person of color, first woman, and first millennial to represent IL-14 — but we also helped her become the youngest Black woman to ever serve in Congress. This is Team Underwood’s lega…

Here’s why:

John, In the past few weeks, we’ve ramped up our campaign’s voter outreach operation. Here’s why: With the GOP’s hold on the House majority, reproductive rights, accessible health care, our right to vote, and so much more are on the line. Twenty-two months into this term, we’ve on…

Our thanks

The situation: Jim Marter is all over social media posting baseless claims against Lauren. Our extreme MAGA opponent won’t hesitate to use his campaign funds to spread these lies to IL-14 voters. Why this matters: If Marter gains more support from the extreme MAGA Republican base,…

John, let me be clear: I told you GOP mega-donors dropped $183 million to prop up extreme MAGA Republicans. I told you the polls have us neck-and-neck with Team Extreme in the race for the House majority. I told you we need to accelerate our fundraising pace to rush resources to t…

Phenomenal

John, one of Jim Marter’s most absurd claims is that Lauren “isn’t for the people.” !?🤔!? Guess what, Jim? You’re wrong. Here’s what folks in IL-14 have to say about her: “I think she’s phenomenal. I can’t wait to vote for her.” “I know that she sticks up for her community.” “…

Election fraud

Extreme MAGA Republicans have repeatedly and falsely claimed that the 2016, 2018, and 2020 elections were “stolen.” And they’re already laying the groundwork in must-win swing states to try to prevent certification of vote totals in the 2024 election. Extensive research, including…
