20 days.

That’s all the time we have to flip the 3 Republican-held Congressional seats in Illinois – including IL-15, currently held by Trump mouthpiece Mary Miller.

Her Democratic opponent is second generation nurse, proud single mom, daughter of a veteran, and native Illinoisan, Jennifer Todd.

Like many Americans, Jennifer knows what it’s like to work night shifts and still come up short on bills. She’s experienced being on Medicaid, SNAP, and unemployment.

As a registered nurse and a former school nurse, she’s seen the hospital closures, school budget cuts, and broken promises from politicians that deeply hurt our families.

Families in Central and Southern Illinois deserve a representative who knows their struggles, speaks their language, and fights for their future, not someone who uses our district as a platform for national extremism.

But we can only flip this seat with a powerful grassroots movement.

Too many of the rural hospitals here in Illinois are closing, too many of our schools are underfunded, and too many of our communities are being left behind. And our voice in Washington, Mary Miller, votes to slash funding for health care, public services, and veterans – the very people she’s meant to represent.

Jennifer isn’t a wealthy self-funder – she’s relying on neighbors like you to power her campaign to victory. IL-15 deserves more than sound bites and broken promises – and this is the year we can finally oust Mary Miller.

We deserve leadership rooted in compassion, integrity, and hard work. That’s the campaign we’re building together, one conversation, one signature, one county at a time.

Would you help flip this seat from red to blue by making a split contribution between Jennifer’s campaign and IDCCA right now? Or sign up to phone bank, knock doors, or help however you can in these final 20 days.

Thank you,
Illinois Democratic County Chairs' Association

My name is Zac Sandefer and I’m running for Madison County Board District 2.

Born and raised in Illinois, I first moved to Madison County to attend SIUE where I received my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with specializations in Finance and Management in 2011. Although I have lived throughout Madison County since my graduation, my wife and I have been fortunate enough to call Troy home for the past six years.

Outside of politics, some of my hobbies include reading, golfing,
watching sports, and of course spending time with my family, especially our two dogs Ernie and Killian! My career has been in property management for the last 11 years, while having been in banking for 4 years prior.

My campaign is built on three core pillars:
• Stopping Data Centers: Residents of this district have made their position clear: they do not want data centers in our community. I agree, and I am prepared to stand up and fight for them.
• Affordability for Working Families: Utilizing my financial background, fiscal responsibility will be at the forefront of my actions. I am committed to smart budgeting, exploring every avenue for grants and other monetary assistance, and eliminating county waste to ensure your hard-earned tax dollars are being used
efficiently to make life more affordable for working families.
• Accountability and Transparency: Elected officials should answer to their constituents and be held accountable when they fall short. I will advocate for full transparency in countywide decisions and processes, and I am committed to maintaining an open-door policy for all community members.

I have never held an elected position before. What I have done is observe actions and behaviors from our elected officials that are ineffective, unproductive, and sometimes downright embarrassing. I am running because our district deserves a candidate who is
willing to listen to their constituents and act accordingly on their behalf.

I am asking for your vote on November 3rd because the people of this district deserve to be heard, and I want to help make that happen.
