Whether you’re one of our hardworking volunteers, a donor to our grassroots campaign, a supporter of our people-first movement, or someone who just wants to stay up to date with politics in IL-13, we’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you for following along with us.
There are just five days left now until the Illinois Democratic primary on Tuesday, March 17th, 2026 (also known as St. Patrick’s Day)! We recommend sending in your ballot as soon as possible if you want to vote by mail. If you’ll be voting on the 17th instead, make your plan to vote!
In these last few days before the primary, we could use your support more than ever. If you are able, please also consider making a donation, canvassing, or volunteering with us on primary day.
This campaign isn’t funded by corporations, it’s powered by people like you. Thank you for coming along with us for this journey. Now, let’s finish strong.
Final Canvassing Opportunities before the Primary:
Knocking Doors
Dylan and our hardworking team have been knocking doors all throughout District 13, from the northeast of the district in Champaign-Urbana all the way down to East St. Louis. Sign up for a door knocking shift near you here!
Phone Banking
Our team has been calling Democratic voters 7 days a week to reach as many people as possible before the March 17th primary. Sign up for a virtual phone banking shift here (no experience necessary).
Dylan visited the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) on March 9th. While there, this curious campus squirrel seemed to give the campaign its endorsement.
Have you noticed that our yard signs have the primary date on them?
Unsure what to do with your sign since we’ll have updated ones after the primary? Head out to your closest polling place on the morning of primary day, and place your old sign with the other yard signs you see there (make sure it’s placed at least 100 feet away from the building entrance).
Dylan to Host Discussion on People-First Politics in CU this Friday
Tomorrow, March 13th, join Dylan for his upcoming event, People-First Politics: A Discussion on Centering the Working Class in Policy. This discussion will trace the historical, economic, and political forces that led to today's climate, and will seek to highlight how a focus on centering the working class is the only way forward for politicians that truly want to serve their constituents.
