Politics often depends on the richest in society.

That's why I'm SO proud of our campaign. We're funded small dollar donors. We've raised almost 6x more in donations under $200 than the next five candidates in my race COMBINED.

We're by and for the people — NOT corporations and billionaires.

screenshot of a FEC fundraising table, sorted by amount raised from brackets of donations. It's sorted by $200 and under donations:

Abughazaleh, Katherine M.
$1,158,374.00

Biss, Daniel
$70,333.23

Fine, Laura

⚡️UPDATE: “A court denied the Trump administration's appeal to continue the deployment of National Guard troops from any U.S. state in Illinois… The TRO blocks federal troops from deploying in Illinois…”

A bush, a trump, and an Obama judge ALL agreed. abc7chicago.com/post/7th-cir...
