Fundraising Caps No Longer Exist as Outside Money Floods our Race.
Once again, Sara Feigenholtz has sold us out.
Outside Super PACs, dark money groups, corporations, and even the Democratic Party of Illinois have poured more than $100,000 into this race to keep the status quo in power. Because of that spending, the Illinois State Board of Elections has officially notified us that the fundraising caps in this race are blown. Let that sink in: Illinois has limits on contributions—but when big money decides to intervene, those limits disappear.
My opponent has been boosted by:
A DraftKings Super PAC pushing to expand gambling
Another Super PAC funded by a Chicago billionaire
The Illinois Realtors, which have spent over $25,000
The Democratic Party, which has spent over $187,000 so far
So if we supposedly have campaign finance limits, why can they be blown up the moment big money decides to intervene?
Our campaign is 100% grassroots and rejects all corporate money. We’re running a race by, of, and for the people. We’ve knocked on over 75,000 doors, hosted 250+ salons and community events, and fought for our neighborhoods while my opponent refuses to debate, cancels appearances, and disappears when the big fights hit our communities.
When ICE was terrorizing our neighborhoods, I was out getting pepper-balled, showing up at whistle-packing events, and protesting in Broadview. As housing costs on the Northside have exploded, I’ve been pushing zoning reform, modernizing construction codes, and holding corporate landlords accountable. She’s been silent.
Time and again, she has refused to meet the moment.
If you’re tired of politicians selling out to whoever writes the biggest checks, help us prove that people-powered campaigns can still win.
On March 17, we have the chance to send a clear message that the 6th District is not for sale.
