<h2>May 13, 2026, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>Breaking the Cycle. That’s what we are doing here in this district.For too many years, this district has been underinvested in and written off.And when that happens, families get left behind.Farmers. Veterans. Students. Working families. Rural communities.People deserve representation, whether a district is considered “easy” or not.Because when we stop showing up in communities like ours, it weakens trust in democracy itself.And here in IL-15, you can see exactly where that leads.In 2024, no one even ran against Mary Miller.No real challenge. No real conversation. No accountability.We cannot keep doing politics this way and expect different results. <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/may12tuesdays">https://secure.actblue.com/donate/may12tuesdays</a>We cannot keep letting maps and assumptions decide which communities matter and which ones get ignored.But this cycle feels different because people here are ready for something different.Four Democrats stepped up to run. And, two Republicans challenged Mary Miller in the primary.That does not happen in districts people truly believe are hopeless.And the truth is, Mary Miller has never really had to defend her record in a serious general election environment.Now she does.This campaign is different because it is rooted here.I’m a nurse. A single mom. The daughter of a veteran.I’ve relied on Medicaid, SNAP, and unemployment before. I know what it feels like to worry about healthcare costs, bills, and whether there will be enough left at the end of the month.I also know this district is full of hardworking people who are tired of being treated like second-class citizens by both parties.People want someone focused on this district. <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/may12tuesdays">https://secure.actblue.com/donate/may12tuesdays</a> Not building a national brand. Not creating chaos with divisive rhetoric.Just doing the work.That means showing up in all 35 counties.Holding town halls. Listening. Having conversations. Being present.Because breaking the cycle is about more than one election.It’s about finally investing in communities, like Palmer, Warden, Plymouth, and so many more that have been ignored for far too long.And that takes all of us.It takes people willing to volunteer. -To organize. -To knock doors. -To make calls. -To host events. -To bring new people into this movement.And yes, it takes financial resources too.Not because money wins everything, we proved that in the primary, but because organizing across 35 counties takes real investment.For example: Every 125 miles driven across this 17,000-square-mile district costs about $600. 50 T-shirts also run about $650.And that’s before the everyday costs of running a true grassroots campaign.The truth is, races like this only become competitive when people decide they are worth fighting for before everyone else believes it.That is how you build momentum. That is how you surprise people. And that is how you break the cycle.<a href="https://app.numero.ai/accounts/12962/email_broadcasts/%7B%7B%7Bbroadcast.speedygive_url%7D%7D%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donate</a>Because if we want to strengthen democracy, we cannot abandon parts of it.We have to show up everywhere.And that is exactly what we are doing here.Jennifer ToddP.S.

<h2>July 7, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>Firsts.This campaign has brought so many personal firsts into my life, and it has been an amazing and profound journey already.The very first was taking a deep breath in January 2025 and hitting send on an email announcing my intent to challenge Mary Miller.I just jumped in with $200 and a Google Search on who to send that email to because no one had stepped up to run against her in 2024.I knew this would be a long road, but I also knew the people of IL-15 deserved a choice.Since then, every conversation across our 35 counties has reminded me why I took that first step.And now, because of every one of you reading this email, I am excited to share some amazing firsts happening in this campaign.&nbsp;<ul><li>This past weekend, I became the first congressional candidate (including sitting members of Congress) ever to march in the Sullivan Fourth of July Parade.</li><li>With so many volunteers stepping up every week, we are excited to be holding our first Phone Bank Manager Training on July 14th.</li><li>Expanding our voter outreach with our blast texts going out to reach voters across the district, allowing us to share our message with even more people across our 17,000 square miles.&nbsp;</li><li>This Saturday, we will hold our first Day of Action in Decatur, bringing supporters together to meet voters where they are, hear what matters most to them, and continue building the relationships that will win this election.&nbsp;</li><li>And because of your donations, we were able to hire our first organizer, Tabitha Carden, who is already helping us grow our volunteer teams and strengthen this campaign across IL-15.</li></ul>Tabitha is based in Jacksonville, in Morgan County, and she is already helping us grow this campaign across the district. You'll be hearing more from her soon.Keep scrolling to see some of the incredible work already happening, upcoming events, and more ways to get involved. Our July calendar is full, and we're adding more opportunities across the district for August and September every day.Fundraising firsts!While we're still waiting for the final numbers, we already know this campaign has raised more at this point in the election cycle than any candidate who has challenged Mary Miller before.That happened because this campaign has always been powered by people, not special interests.Like many of you reading this, I'm not a millionaire. I'm not self-funding this campaign or relying on wealthy donors to decide this race.Grassroots campaigns are powered by grassroots donors.<a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/cwp4db-fDe1TPDo19hjeVA~~/AAUS1hA~/q4_rMd1yfdCSnF0zULDIP1pYOCoHjHpC7kcwe4_hLDTg63ajgMAi5ruyNS2E7qaASh6hI-u4kKsQT3VbAzpxqLQxuW-6FcHMx-pmsBpN1VNejmpzexpbwVGHzP-Xj1ay-7ZZWYA7KYuCmeiowHFRILOB8YvyNZ-vTvAFsh-hQtK1pmZaCoTYhmab0r64U_dH" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Every contribution is a reminder that this campaign belongs to the people of IL-15.</a>I'm asking you today to please make a contribution and help us create the next first together.Thank you for being part of this journey.JenniferP.S.&nbsp; Tomorrow's Volunteer Meeting and so much happening in July!

Thank you for everything you're doing to elect Jennifer Todd.&nbsp;<h2>In Case You Missed It Jennifer's 4th of July Message</h2>Today marks 250 years since the birth of our nation and the signing of the&nbsp;Declaration of Independence. It’s a day to celebrate our communities, our freedoms, and the generations of Americans who have built this country into what it is today.The promise of America has never been that we’re perfectIt’s that every generation has a responsibility to keep working toward the ideals our country was founded on: freedom, opportunity, fairness, and a government that listens to the people it serves.Those ideals are as urgent today as ever.Representation isn’t just about holding office. It’s about showing up, listening, and real representation for all.As a nurse, a mom, and someone who has spent this campaign listening to families across all 35 counties of IL-15, I know people want leaders who show up, solve problems, and represent everyone, not just those already at the table.Today, I hope you enjoy time with family, friends, and neighbors. Celebrate what brings us together and reflect on the freedoms we share.And in the weeks ahead, I’ll keep traveling across IL-15, listening, and working to earn your support.Happy Fourth of July!Jennifer

<h2>April 7, 2026, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>We’ve had a lot of new people join this campaign over the past few weeks. If that’s you, welcome. I’m really glad you’re here.If you’ve been with me from the start, thank you. We would not be here without you.We won our primary. That matters. Now the real work begins.For those just getting to know me, I’m Jennifer Todd. I’m a nurse, a mom, a neighbor, and someone who believes this district deserves a representative who shows up, listens, and fights for the people who live here.I got into this race in January of 2025 because it was clear our district was not being heard. I kept meeting families struggling with rising costs, farmers being left behind, and people who felt like no one in Washington was paying attention to life here at home.I decided to step up because I believe our community deserves someone who shows up and fights for us.Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing. Costs are too high. Groceries. Gas. Health care. Farmers are worried about staying afloat. Families are stretched thin. Seniors are wondering how far their Social Security will go.We can do better. And that is what this campaign is about.Since the primary, we have been growing our grassroots team, reaching more voters, and building the kind of campaign it takes to win in November.And here’s the truth of where we are right now.We have volunteers ready to knock doors. County chairs stepping up. Organizations asking for yard signs and t-shirts.That’s exactly the kind of momentum we need.We would love nothing more than to deliver boxes of signs and shirts to every single county in this district. To show people, in a real and visible way, that this campaign is everywhere and that they have a real choice.But those materials cost money.<a href="https://app.numero.ai/accounts/12962/email_broadcasts/%7B%7B%7Bbroadcast.speedygive_url%7D%7D%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donate</a>And as you know, I’m not able to self-fund. Raising money in a district like ours isn’t easy, and most of us are in the same boat. That just means we have to build this together.If we’re going to meet this moment, we need to raise the resources to match the energy we’re seeing on the ground.&nbsp;<a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/april7jentodd">https://secure.actblue.com/donate/april7jentodd</a>If you’re able to, please consider making a contribution today. Every dollar goes directly toward reaching voters and getting the tools our volunteers need into their hands.If you are ready to step in, here is how you can help:Host a meet and greet in your community Join a phone bank Knock doors and talk to your neighbors<a href="https://www.jentodd2026.us/volunteer#">Volunteer here</a>If you want to host, canvass, or make calls, you can also reach out directly to Erin: <a href="mailto:erin.vanbrooker@gmail.com">erin.vanbrooker@gmail.com</a>This is how we win. One conversation at a time, in every corner of this district.Thank you for being part of this. I am grateful to have you with me.JenniferP.S.

<h2>June 9, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>Politico is talking about our campaign—and calling out Mary Miller.Mary Miller wants to spend June debating whether your families count.As a nurse, a mom, and the daughter of a veteran, I know families in IL-15 aren’t looking for more culture wars. They’re looking for leaders focused on lowering costs, expanding access to health care, strengthening our public schools, and actually showing up.That’s why I’ve held 15 Coffee &amp; Conversations, with another coming June 20. It’s why I’ve traveled thousands of miles across this district listening. And it’s why I’m running.IL-15 deserves a representative who serves this district, not one who distracts with divisive fights.Below the article, you’ll find updates on tomorrow’s Wednesday volunteer Zoom at noon, Monday night phone banking, three events next week across the district, and more ways to get involved.If you’re able, <a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/r9HbMicco-RGnr2qHl0LXw~~/AAUS1hA~/5gtwq7XVay-8Zqq9Sqkbb573mBuhVVYfw-UTeaSKtsGAbhB1Ocj85oAhc0UoMk-oxny-XTbuOnt_nTZgQpQD2lTesAYHL1Pd8WSL8H8Slx3hQccoJiBAC4_n6lJV_mrw-6KLUNrCaob6RAUewMQpxZefoCyzqi56TmXm7YQAKPM~" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">please consider pitching in $5, $15, $35, or whatever works for you.</a> Every dollar helps us stay on the road, reach more voters, and power the organizing it will take to win this race.<a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/r9HbMicco-RGnr2qHl0LXw~~/AAUS1hA~/5gtwq7XVay-8Zqq9Sqkbb573mBuhVVYfw-UTeaSKtsGAbhB1Ocj85oAhc0UoMk-oxny-XTbuOnt_nTZgQpQD2lTesAYHL1Pd8WSL8H8Slx3hQccoJiBAC4_n6lJV_mrw-6KLUNrCaob6RAUewMQpxZefoCyzqi56TmXm7YQAKPM~" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Join the Fight!</a>Jennifer<h2>No Pride in Mary Miller’s proposal</h2>By SHIA KAPOS&nbsp; 06/09/2026 08:00 AM EDT With an assist from Desiree Luo. Good Tuesday morning, Illinois. This newsletter brought to you by caffeine and summer rainFAMILY FEUD:&nbsp;Congresswoman Mary Miller is wading back into a culture-war fight.Last week, the Illinois Republican introduced legislation that would end federal recognition of Pride Month and replace it with “Family Month.”The proposal, which aligns with the views of a Republican Party increasingly skeptical of gay marriage, landed as Pride Month celebrations were getting underway across Illinois and the country.Her Democratic challenger, Jennifer Todd, argues Miller is focused on the wrong things. “If Mary Miller really wants to honor families she should be fighting to lower the prices of gas, and groceries, ensuring we have access to health care, making sure our kids can get a good education, and help family farmers survive. That’s what honoring families really means,” Todd said in a statement to Playbook.Equality Illinois echoed that. “The diversity of our nation, including LGBTQ+ people and families, is one of our greatest strengths. We are strongest when we recognize the richness of our communities and affirm that everyone belongs. We can celebrate the many kinds of families that exist while also honoring the resilience of LGBTQ+ people,” the advocacy group said in a statement to Playbook.She’s not the only Archie Bunker. Miller is following the lead of Indiana and Tennessee governors who have issued proclamations recognizing “Nuclear Family Month.” And there’s Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles, who recently drew criticism — including from fellow Republicans — after his social media post declared that “Homosexuality has no place in America.” The post was later deleted, with Ogles saying the “stupid” and “harmful” post was made by a member of his team who was reprimanded.True colors: Miller’s legislation is just the latest example of her courting controversy. Days after taking office in 2021, Miller drew criticism for quoting Adolf Hitler. In 2022, while celebrating the Supreme Court’s decision overruling Roe v. Wade, she called it a “historic victory for white life,” which her office later said was a slip of the tongue, with the wording of the prepared remarks purportedly terming the ruling a victory for “the right to life.” Last year, she came under fire for a xenophobic post identifying a guest House chaplain as Muslim when he was Sikh. Miller said at the time the man “should never have been allowed” to lead the prayer.She’s MAGA: Miller also objected to certifying the results of the 2020 election and has referred to a trans colleague, Sarah McBride, as “the gentleman from Delaware” on the House floor. Those positions and others have made her a close ally of President Donald Trump, who endorsed her reelection bid.Back home, though, constituents have complained that she’s difficult to reach and rarely holds public town halls. (She’s also known to dodge reporters’ calls, including your Playbook host’s.)Losing patience: Miller has won reelection comfortably, but she also drew challengers in the March primary — a sign that criticism of her combative style isn’t limited to Democrats.<h2>Fundraisers, Meet &amp; Greets, Jennifer in your Neighborhood!</h2>Follow along with what’s happening across the district and see when Jennifer will be in your community by visiting us <a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/vc6qbExF-tIEc5vRLyeRtQ~~/AAUS1hA~/exrI88cK9EtlnAS3nH9TQQMc6i89zOGUDolyNnHz9D4Reotd78_DvSG5XF3ygxIw-uQlb5uz5wkiRtKStWh4_oybdnrHauU68ij1L-DnyNld7B4OP6e6tOtlcPQui_Ag_Gf0AtgxNRavW9T-sCDUJQ~~" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>, and keep an eye out for the!&nbsp;Every Monday | 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM Phone Bank with Jennifer, Matt, and Team Todd Join us each week as we connect directly with voters across the district. <a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/JEWrTEuM2dq_diahA3GCuA~~/AAUS1hA~/39Ps4MTY8jvXI-8hki8vuvmwH-DayUCs211d0wyWdaGOxxWkyba4owPqzKEMGNBnnUkcKHfJqgP-D80jGIlOH49hnzemnhi2M3mTKLtZoac0pekYlKzFrbswiRn3wISJG5OXIjQ97S7rpse3kRg8rYI5DtUF5_llVZWwYI7NqZ9_OLUEqih7ADerqD2bbjFl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Join here.</a>June 10 Meet-and-Greet with Jennifer in Mason City 6:00 pm, Mason City Pavilion Park, 250W Jefferson Street, Mason City, IL Join Sen.

Now we're down to the final hours until the deadline at midnight.We only need $1,215 to reach our June 30 fundraising goal before midnight tonight.Every contribution helps us build the campaign it will take to defeat Mary Miller.She's making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Voting to cut funding families, seniors, veterans, and rural hospitals depend on. Using divisive, extreme rhetoric that pulls people apart instead of helping our communities.&nbsp;This district deserves a representative who fights for us, not for political headlines.I’ve always believed in showing up. And that’s exactly what we’re going to keep doing. Showing up in every corner of this district.Listening. Organizing. Earning trust.With your help.If you believe it’s time for trust, accountability, and real leadership in the 15th District, please make a contribution before midnight tonight.<a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/tQpMSYzPdy9X1ojxgbjfVg~~/AAUS1hA~/ypW8iCfhudDZa_yYqvayV7NQDQhuVXBg6dhmKDeEb6_nRoesLSi8bQ6uw2AjwIxiB3jbSz87GJOPGq4CKVZL1E1zU6UL2P9Pq88Rtrg38QXicOgVZlKxi7gXeVAnYjbJ_gdwiU99UM3t_BipGS2hVwq2NyieYXJNIIcoqpvNmtKvgGiwgVP5ZRn8hLEazkqPAqyu_pOqiYh8SiQpI1z16A~~" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Help us reach our goal by midnight!</a>Thank you for believing in this campaign and for standing with me.Jennifer P.S.

June 30

<h2>May 26, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>Tomorrow, I’ll be speaking to the Illinois Alliance for Retired Americans, representing more than 257,000 members fighting to protect Social Security, Medicare, pensions, and healthcare for seniors across Illinois.It felt like the right moment to talk about one of the clearest differences between myself and Mary Miller.Right now, nearly 150,000 people in our district, about 20%, are retired seniors.Veterans.&nbsp; Retired teachers.&nbsp; Nurses.&nbsp; Factory workers.&nbsp; Farmers.&nbsp; Union members.People who spent decades paying into Social Security and Medicare with the promise those programs would be there when they needed them.And yet Mary Miller consistently votes to cut funding and services for this very community, then publicly cheers those cuts on, while seniors are left trying to survive on benefits that no longer come close to matching the real cost of living.Just yesterday, I learned some seniors in our community are receiving as little as $24 a month in SNAP benefits for food.Twenty-four dollars.No one who worked their entire life should be choosing between groceries, medication, rent, or keeping the lights on.But while Mary Miller cheers on cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, and healthcare programs, I see the people those cuts hurt.I see seniors skipping meals. I see people splitting pills in half to make prescriptions last longer. I see retirees terrified one medical emergency could wipe out everything they worked for.As a nurse, I know exactly what happens when seniors cannot afford food or healthcare.Financial insecurity quickly becomes a health crisis.<ul><li>I will make it my priority to protect and expand Social Security so benefits actually match today’s cost of living.</li><li>I will fight to strengthen Medicare, lower prescription drug costs, and protect food assistance for seniors.</li><li>And I will never support budgets that hand more tax breaks to the wealthy while forcing retirees and working families to pay the price.</li></ul><a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/tuBG42IwznfDAH2V_eFvqw~~/AAUS1hA~/yKHb5BOVX08U-_Xd0VupwMdmwG20w36bjgalAdt_IZtmVcd48y0KTOutOFw4GAqRVnyxV6XwIvqW0_qW3DzOEe2qGfuaggimNXdk7Pm0yOxbHKM5nQUgv9JlxQUfrG_tSbsyRBt0duBU5Gr5XX622XKQnWpwiP1xsBvF2-sX8TGrJoXCJqPQrVctLqcfcaSU16xXVGo7m5w-gDq04hQVRg~~" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Social Security, Medicare, and SNAP are not handouts.</a>Our seniors earned those benefits.Every paycheck.

<h2>April 28, 2026, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>You may have seen Mary Miller’s post last week attacking Chicago schools and teachers.But here’s the problem — she doesn’t represent Chicago. She represents us.Here at home, we’re dealing with: underfunded schools, overworked teachers, and students who aren’t getting the opportunities they deserve.That’s what she should be focused on.Instead, she’s choosing political fights that have nothing to do with our communities while supporting policies that take resources away from public schools, especially in rural districts like ours.That hurts our kids. It hurts our teachers. And it hurts our future.Our students deserve better. And we cannot afford more of the same.I’ve spent my life as a nurse, and I’ve seen how much a strong school system shapes a child’s future, and a community’s future, too.We have a choice to make about what comes next.If I’m elected, here’s what I’ll do:<ul><li>Fight to fully fund our public schools so rural districts aren’t left behind</li><li>Support higher pay for teachers so we can keep great educators right here in our communities</li><li>Expand vocational and technical training so students can step into good-paying jobs, whether that’s college, the trades, or staying and working close to home</li><li>Make sure every student has access to the support they need to succeed, no matter their zip code</li></ul>This is the choice in this race.Mary Miller is focused on headlines and divisive rhetoric.I’m focused on our kids, our schools, and our future.Because when our schools are strong, our communities are strong.And if we want stronger schools, we need new leadership willing to fight for them.I’m grateful to have you with me in this.JenniferP.S. This campaign is about showing up for our communities and getting real results.

I especially like the comparison with Mary Miller with specific votes.&nbsp;Consider the NOW PAC endorsement for the General too. On to another victory!!Bonnie Grabenhofer

<h5>This fall, you will face a choice.</h5>I have said it since day one: your choice is between cruelty and compassion. Which will YOU stand for? As you have always known, I stand for compassion and courage. That's why I stand for Jennifer Todd as your best choice for actual change. Over the past year, I’ve traveled across Illinois' 15th Congressional District with Jennifer Todd, and what we’ve seen and heard from regular people is unacceptable. Families are being crushed by skyrocketing costs across every part of our lives, and our infrastructure is falling apart while leadership in Washington looks the other way. That’s exactly why I’m all in for Jennifer Todd. She’s not afraid to take this head-on, and I’ll happily be voting for her in November. If YOU want real change, we need to rally behind her and send Mary Miller packing.-Kyle Nudo

<h5>Jennifer Todd has my full support and my wholehearted endorsement.</h5>She’s ready to lead, ready to do the work, and ready to represent this district the way it should be represented. She will serve with integrity, accountability, and a genuine commitment to the people here. I trust her, and I believe in her ability to carry this work forward. This moment is bigger than any one person or just this district. We have to right this ship. We must unseat Mary Miller for the 15th. She has failed to represent the people of this district and has lost sight of whom she serves. We cannot afford more of the same. More importantly, if we are serious about changing the direction of this country, we must start here. We must flip this seat. And we must do our part to help flip the House. That’s how we restore accountability, protect our democracy, and begin to put our country back on the path it deserves. I’m asking you to stand with Jennifer. Support her. Encourage her. Fight alongside her. Because this isn’t just about a campaign, it never was. It’s about the future we leave behind for our kids and grandkids. And it’s about the future for working families, for veterans, for seniors, for women, for minorities, for the LGBTQ+ community, for immigrants, and everyone who deserves to be seen, heard, and represented.-Randy Raley

<h2>July 14, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>In the richest country in the world...In communities that help feed America...Families shouldn't struggle to put fresh food on the table.But across the district Mary Miller represents, too many do.From small towns to rural communities across IL-15, families are driving farther just to buy groceries.Seniors are making impossible choices. Parents are stretching every dollar to put healthy meals on the table.As a nurse, I know good health starts long before someone walks into a hospital. It starts with access to healthy food, quality healthcare, and the resources families need to thrive.Mary Miller knows these challenges exist.Instead of fighting to make life more affordable for the people she represents, she's supported cuts to programs that help families put food on the table and failed to lead on the everyday issues rural communities face.That's why I'm running for Congress.The people of IL-15 deserve someone who shows up, listens, and fights for them.<a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/Cw_SJYOgfCEnpNSnCEQz4A~~/AAUS1hA~/0xgvteC7F6u3lTZ0r85Hf1LiTAUVfCbEE2oe6IOwueP18wOHc8PIOZURwAPcNNqjpqh_PFyxpOOrJyrKIqfkB7g5gMyeVw1B3OX7rIS9LLxXIwTxGuFn78_8JuQoONmZ-bIsYCuXfDSH6u_1xVKOahmVhF3lLk3aGes68NPtzSZlvXfkJ7tMXn7liDjFlL29" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Grassroots campaigns run on grassroots support.</a><a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/Cw_SJYOgfCEnpNSnCEQz4A~~/AAUS1hA~/0xgvteC7F6u3lTZ0r85Hf1LiTAUVfCbEE2oe6IOwueP18wOHc8PIOZURwAPcNNqjpqh_PFyxpOOrJyrKIqfkB7g5gMyeVw1B3OX7rIS9LLxXIwTxGuFn78_8JuQoONmZ-bIsYCuXfDSH6u_1xVKOahmVhF3lLk3aGes68NPtzSZlvXfkJ7tMXn7liDjFlL29" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Grassroots dollars fund Grassroots Campaigns!</a>Will you contribute today to help us reach more voters across all 35 counties?Your donation helps us:• Meet people where they are • Make phone calls • Reach voters across all 35 counties • Have the conversations that remind our neighbors they deserve better representationThis campaign has always been powered by people who believe rural Illinois deserves better.If you believe that too, I'm asking you to invest in this campaign today.Thank you,Jennifer&nbsp;P.S.

Week of July 7, 2026<h2>July is Off to a Strong Start!</h2>Momentum across the campaign continues to grow, and we wanted to share a few quick updates on what we've been working on and what's coming next.<h2>New Campaign Photos</h2>We have a new Jennifer headshot. I will email it to you all. Please begin using the new official photo of Jennifer whenever possible for county communications, social media, event graphics, and other materials.A huge thank you to Logan County Chair Ronda Shelton for her incredibly generous in-kind contribution by donating her professional photography services. We truly appreciate her talent and support of this campaign!<h2>Bi-Weekly Wednesday Volunteer Zoom at Noon - Tomorrow</h2>Our next bi-weekly volunteer meeting is tomorrow, July 8th.Along with all our regular updates, we'll be joined by members of the Coordinated Campaign, who will share information about this Saturday's Day of Action canvass in Decatur.Please encourage anyone interested in volunteering to join us.Volunteer Meeting Link: <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/O4ZyURZaQRGQNlX7VshaYg" style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/O4ZyURZaQRGQNlX7VshaYg</a>Note: people can always go to the website: <a href="https://www.jentodd2026.us/events" style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">https://www.jentodd2026.us/events</a> and click on the date of a meeting and sign up there as well.&nbsp;<h2>Welcome Tabitha Carden</h2>We're excited to announce that we've hired Tabitha Carden of Jacksonville, our new organizer!Many of you have already heard from her, and she's been hard at work recruiting volunteers, building local capacity, and helping organize campaign activity across the district.Tabitha has also developed our new Zone Structure to better coordinate volunteers and county organizations. If she hasn't reached out to you yet, expect to hear from her soon.<h2>Yard Sign Update</h2>Campaign yard signs are expected to arrive in August.We'll work directly with each county to coordinate distribution.Many signs will be available for pickup during the Illinois State Fair. If no one from your county will be attending, don't worry. We'll work with Tabitha and our Zone Structure to make sure your signs get where they need to go.<h2>4' x 4' Signs</h2>We've received a tremendous amount of interest in 4' x 4' signs.Thanks to a recommendation from Dan Kovats, we've selected a printer and finalized pricing.Cost: $36 per sign, plus shipping.The printer will have Jennifer's artwork on file, allowing supporters to order directly if they choose. We can also coordinate group orders through the campaign using donated funds.The final design will be delivered to the printer this week, and we'll share complete ordering instructions as soon as everything is ready.<h2>Surrogate Speaker Program</h2>Our Surrogate Speaker Program is officially underway, and volunteers are already signing up.With 35 counties, Jennifer won’t be able to be everywhere, and the surrogate speaker program is an important part of making sure Jennifer is represented even if she can’t be there herself.&nbsp;If you have someone in your county who is an effective public speaker and would enjoy representing Jennifer at local events, meetings, or organizations, please let us know.&nbsp;We'll provide them with the information and resources they need to be successful.<h2>Coming This Week</h2>Today's campaign email includes even more updates and links to join or RSVP, and we're expecting to have some exciting fundraising news to share with all of you later this week.Thank you for everything you're doing to build this campaign in your communities. Your leadership is making a real difference, and we're excited for what's ahead.

<h2>July 21, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>Mary Miller continues to stand by claims that independent fact-checkers have found to be false, misleading, or unsupported.This district deserves better than her policy of distraction and divisiveness.As a mom and a nurse, I know something important: facts matter.When someone comes to you scared, uncertain, or hurting, you don’t make things worse by giving them fear and misinformation.You listen. You look at the evidence. You find solutions.Instead, our current member of Congress continues to align herself with a political agenda built around distrust and division, including claims about our elections that have been repeatedly examined and disproven.Multiple Independent fact-checkers have found:<ul><li>There is no evidence that foreign governments changed the outcome of the 2020 election.</li><li>There is no evidence that voting machines changed election results.</li><li>Claims of widespread illegal voting by noncitizens have not been supported by evidence.</li><li>Mail voting is not inherently corrupt, and fraud in our elections remains extremely rare.</li></ul>Mary Miller chose conspiracy. I choose facts.While she focuses on repeating misinformation and creating division, families across Illinois’ 15th District are focused on the challenges they face every day:The rising cost of groceries. The price of healthcare. Supporting our farmers and small businesses. Protecting Social Security.Making sure our children and grandchildren have opportunities right here at home.I’m running for Congress because I believe people deserve a representative who will be honest with them, listen to them, and focus on solving the problems that actually impact their lives.That’s the same commitment I brought to my patients as a nurse, and it’s the commitment I will bring to Washington.We don’t need more public servants who tell people what they want to hear; we need our voice at the table.<a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/8I735tyyrkQ-YtoVqg-BUQ~~/AAUS1hA~/WwhYKlaXR7LRMjnYKPTFGGNaHLlyoys4hGS061dxU1oAxOvfIHC6XUpoCYB7eIN6F-rOja3L9FB582SyBOK-lSPRmPIlClZeaeMh-5GYB3sAcjZ_cmqTvkzbhTj62Ccn5ICu7ouopng8L_MR8wOLYnTfP0tc5CDwq1fwhhnjfn8yWxRKfZDCA1cyZnX_4RPS" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Let's bring facts and trust back!</a>We need leaders we can trust to serve and represent.Thank you for standing with me.Jennifer ToddP.S.

<h2>July 28, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>This week's update is packed with exciting news, and we don’t want you to miss a thing so here's a preview: ✔️ History-making fundraising milestones ✔️ The launch of our 35-county Neighbor to Neighbor voter outreach program ✔️ Volunteer opportunities across IL-15 ✔️ Where to meet me in your community this August ✔️ Coles County Murder Mystery fundraiser's and other upcoming events All that and info on how to help defeat Mary Miller and Elect Jennifer Todd is a scroll and a click away!Hi Meg,Together, we're making history in IL-15.For the first time since Mary Miller was elected, her Democratic challenger- that's us- has raised more than $130,000 to defeat her.That includes $65,000 last quarter alone. That's more than twice what any previous Democratic challenger raised during an entire election cycle.A great indicator that the voters are ready for change! You made that possible.Since March, together we've:<ul><li>Endorsements are flowing in, including the Illinois Nurses Association, AFL-CIO, and Citizen Action Illinois in just the last week.</li><li>Hired an organizer <a href="mailto:tabithap07@gmail.com">(Tabitha Cardin, Jacksonville)</a> who has helped us grow our already impressive volunteer team: Thanks to her, today we're launching the beginning of our 35-county phone banking neighbor-to-neighbor outreach. (Scroll down for details and to get started.)</li><li>Reached voters where they are in communities Mary Miller has never visited or reached out to since she was first elected in 2020</li></ul>Example: Just this weekend in Arcola, no fewer than five people thanked me simply for coming to their town.That shouldn't be unusual for someone running for Congress, much less someone elected to represent this district.People are joining this campaign for one simple reason. They know I'm one of them.I'm a working mom. I'm a nurse. I'm the daughter of a veteran, raised in a union home.And I actually know the people I'm fighting for.Kasey, the mom in Decatur trying to stretch a paycheck to cover groceries and rising costs. Charles in Fowler, worried about whether their local hospital will be there when they need it. Lance, a senior in Taylorville trying to navigate Medicare and Social Security while living on a fixed income. Joe, the veteran in Nokomis who deserves access to quality care close to home. Tom, the farmer in Butler, trying to keep the family farm going through rising costs and uncertainty.And my promise to you is that this campaign is about more than one election.We're building something that will continue serving the people in our neighborhoods and communities long after Election Day because our communities deserve a representative who shows up, listens, and never stops working for them.Now I'm asking you to help make the next piece of history.<a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/RXXTP0q7YDwGQYK3GD4lEA~~/AAUS1hA~/R_Lf7VEPdS2wU-tKbk1toQiorT0vMxbBz2YgkPrx3SZZG3DcBSc-NgElBZpdt_eOP1HoNNtlgfO_7Wg9fNCbSgeuk9WNVVPuGqeID2qIl6_c4wLat2RkPAw15cgPHHcCuErvXh7AszLwko5SvVE0X6-s8VQOz2O6iB5d7VoCPeyIPHEzg2bWlz4leODe1yO7r0xJ82y7FgqmDaDKEJgW6A~~" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Please make a contribution of $10, $25, $50, or whatever you can afford today.</a><a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/RXXTP0q7YDwGQYK3GD4lEA~~/AAUS1hA~/R_Lf7VEPdS2wU-tKbk1toQiorT0vMxbBz2YgkPrx3SZZG3DcBSc-NgElBZpdt_eOP1HoNNtlgfO_7Wg9fNCbSgeuk9WNVVPuGqeID2qIl6_c4wLat2RkPAw15cgPHHcCuErvXh7AszLwko5SvVE0X6-s8VQOz2O6iB5d7VoCPeyIPHEzg2bWlz4leODe1yO7r0xJ82y7FgqmDaDKEJgW6A~~" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Help us keep making history!</a>Every dollar helps us grow our grassroots campaign, expand our 35-county phone banking plan, and keep me on the road across this 17,000-square-mile district, meeting people where they are and listening to what matters most.We've already proven what's possible.

July 28

<h2>April 14, 2026, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>Together, we just won a competitive four-person primary by building a grassroots campaign across all 35 counties of this district.We traveled throughout our 17,000-square-mile district. We listened to voters who have been feeling unheard. We built support in places Democrats don’t usually reach. And we won.If you’re new to this campaign, welcome—and I’m really glad you’re here.A big reason we won is simple:&nbsp;we listened.That’s something people across this district haven't been getting from our current representative, and it’s one of the biggest reasons I decided to run.Now, I want to take that commitment even further now that we are in the general election.For those new to our campaign, I’m Jennifer Todd, the Democratic nominee for Congress in Illinois’ 15th District, challenging Mary Miller.If we haven’t met yet, I hope we will soon.The core of this campaign is still the same: listening, not talking at people.Hearing directly from families, farmers, workers, and communities about costs, care, and opportunity.That means:<ul><li>Kitchen tables</li><li>Small towns</li><li>Farms</li><li>Healthcare workers, educators, and small business owners</li><li>And more, as every voice matters.</li></ul>Across this district, how we show up depends on distance:<ul><li>Closer to Madison County: meet and greets, house gatherings, local events</li><li>Farther counties: concentrated visits, multiple stops in a day, diners, and community spaces where people already gather</li></ul>This is a 35-county, 17,000-square-mile district. Showing up everywhere takes real travel, organizing, and resources.We can’t do that without support. If you want to help bring me to your community or organize a visit, please reply to this email. And if you’re able to help cover the travel that makes this outreach possible, you can do that <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/april14jentodd">here</a>.I’d truly love to meet you and your neighbors, hear your stories, and learn what matters most.Because public service means listening and showing up.JenniferP.S. Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or are just joining Team Todd, thank you. We’re building real momentum in a district people said couldn’t change, but it takes resources to keep showing up and competing everywhere. <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/april14jentodd">If you’re able, I’d be grateful for your support today.</a><h2>Jennifer Around the District</h2> You can also follow along with what’s happening across the district and see when I’ll be in your community by visiting us <a href="https://www.jentodd2026.us/events">here</a>, and keep an eye out for the💙!&nbsp;To invite Jennifer to your community or host a meet and greet:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:jennifer@jentodd2026.us">jennifer@jentodd2026.us</a>, 618-251-1428&nbsp;April 13 - Greater Springfield Democrats Monthly meeting, 5:30 pm, Stella Coffee &amp; Tea, 1135 &nbsp; West Governors Street, Springfield, IL&nbsp;April 15 - Bi-Weekly Team Todd Zoom at NoonApril 16 - Shelby County Democrats Monthly meeting, 5:30 pm, VFW 513 S.

April 14

<h2>June 23, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>Mary Miller is talking about Chicago. Again. She’s not talking about the rural towns and working communities that make up IL-15.She’s not talking about Nokomis. Or Greenview. Or Champaign. Or Macomb.What I see instead is manufactured outrage meant to distract.Manufactured outrage is what politicians create when they don't want to talk about the issues people actually face.And it shows up the same way, over and over:Outrage about things that don’t move the needle for families here. Outrage that creates division instead of solving problems. Outrage that avoids the actual work of representing people.Because when you look past the headlines, here’s what’s missing:No town halls. No real meetings with constituents.That gap matters. Because when representation disappears, manufactured outrage fills the space.And manufactured outrage isn’t harmless noise. It has consequences.While the manufactured outrage continues, people here are dealing with the real world.In Nokomis, Greenview, Champaign, Carlin, and across IL-15, I hear about:Affordability. Farmers trying to stay afloat. Public schools stretched too thin. Healthcare systems under pressure.This is what deserves attention.I have been showing up. I’ve been listening. I’ve been answering the phone.And I will continue to do that for every person in this district, whether they support me or not.I will hold office hours. I will hold town halls. And I will answer the phone.That’s what representation should look like.As we approach our end-of-quarter deadline, the reality is simple: hundreds of thousands of dollars are flowing into Mary Miller’s already well-funded campaign.From political allies and donors who are nothing like the people of this district. Like Mary, many of those friends and supporters are millionaires. I’m not.We are working families, farmers, nurses, teachers, and small business owners. People doing their best to keep up and take care of each other.This campaign is built differently: one conversation, one door, one contribution at a time.While others invest in manufactured outrage, we’re investing in showing up.Right now, we need to raise $12,435 before midnight on June 30 to stay on track.That’s next Tuesday at midnight. If you’re able, you can help here:<a href="https://app.numero.ai/accounts/12962/email_broadcasts/%7B%7B%7Bbroadcast.speedygive_url%7D%7D%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donate Today!</a><a href="https://app.numero.ai/accounts/12962/email_broadcasts/%7B%7B%7Bbroadcast.speedygive_url%7D%7D%7D">Even $15 (for the 15th District) or $35 (for the 35 counties) makes a real difference when it comes from someone in this district who believes we deserve better.</a>Manufactured outrage is destructive because it replaces progress with performance.It turns attention away from real problems and real people. And in a district like ours, that cost is too high.Thank you for being part of this, JenniferP.S. Every contribution to this campaign represents someone choosing substance over distraction and community over manufactured outrage.<a href="https://app.numero.ai/accounts/12962/email_broadcasts/%7B%7B%7Bbroadcast.speedygive_url%7D%7D%7D"> If you can help before my June 30 midnight deadline, your support will help us keep reaching voters across all 35 counties of IL-15.&nbsp;</a>P.S.S.

June 23

<h2>June 2, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>One thing I've learned as a nurse and a mom is that love doesn't come with conditions.When your child is hurting, you show up. When they're struggling, you support them. When they're finding their way in the world, you don't stop loving them.You keep being their parent. You keep being their family. And you keep reminding them that they belong.That's what families do.And, often, that's what communities do.Families across our district may look different from one another, but at our core, most of us want the same thing: for the people we love to be safe, healthy, and able to build a happy and successful life.That's certainly what I want for my family.And it's what I want for yours.Not just for those whose families look like mine. For all of you.As a nurse, I've spent years caring for people at some of the most vulnerable moments in their lives.I've seen the difference that support, acceptance, and compassion can make. I've also seen the damage that can happen when people feel rejected, isolated, or told that they matter less than others. The consequences aren't political.They're human.That's why I believe every child deserves to feel safe at school. Every family deserves equal treatment under the law. And every person deserves dignity and respect.Not because of who they are. Not because of who they love. Not because of what they believe.Simply because they're human.Last June, Mary Miller said, "Pride Month, in my opinion, is evil." Why is she so afraid of family, of love?<a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/EYbCoatvtq4tu9ciZlJ40g~~/AAUS1hA~/Cl52UQEK23J6jtgITW67pAIR6hjKf0XWKnVxK5h_HScc6iJ1akvXeM4FRMcRonVDAi3HqN_cm_MV8UTFDEj8qHMRwQQCow4R-K5zag5TcZr3oDrw8DRIC-a8ClUBa40qffN-XZtDLxXuNO0oGPRIXItkDhEAQWdX9NIIzjHw4B9RBPM0DOg4-anjz9jOSMBeYM25hjLtYxDbNtxlmGOeTA~~" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">That's what I think of when I think about Pride, not politics.</a>I think about young people who need to know they are loved. I think about parents who want their children to be safe. I think about families who want the same things every other family wants: acceptance, opportunity, and the freedom to live their lives in peace.How can there be anything wrong with telling people they have value? How can there be anything wrong with helping young people know they belong?And how can there be anything wrong with celebrating the simple idea that every person deserves respect?The values that guide me aren't complicated.Lead with kindness. Treat people fairly. Stand up for those who are being pushed aside.And never make a child feel like they are less worthy of love, respect, or opportunity than anyone else.That's the kind of community I believe in. And that's the kind of representative I will be.Because at the end of the day, none of us will be remembered for who we excluded.We'll be remembered for who we welcomed. We'll be remembered for who we stood beside when it wasn't easy. We'll be remembered for whether we chose fear or compassion, division or community, judgment or love.I know what choice I'm making.If you believe our district is strongest when every family is valued, every child is protected, and every person is treated with dignity, then I hope you'll stand with me.Join this campaign. Share this message. Talk to your neighbors. Help us build a politics rooted not in fear, but in humanity.<a href="https://go.sparkpostmail1.com/f/a/EYbCoatvtq4tu9ciZlJ40g~~/AAUS1hA~/Cl52UQEK23J6jtgITW67pAIR6hjKf0XWKnVxK5h_HScc6iJ1akvXeM4FRMcRonVDAi3HqN_cm_MV8UTFDEj8qHMRwQQCow4R-K5zag5TcZr3oDrw8DRIC-a8ClUBa40qffN-XZtDLxXuNO0oGPRIXItkDhEAQWdX9NIIzjHw4B9RBPM0DOg4-anjz9jOSMBeYM25hjLtYxDbNtxlmGOeTA~~" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fighting for Unconditional Love</a>Because love has always been stronger than fear.And together, we can build a community that proves it.With unconditional love,JenniferP.S.

June 2

<h1>Weekly Campaign News!</h1>

<h2>May 19, 2026, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>Here’s something I’m sure we all can agree on.Fundraising is not the fun part of politics.Nobody wakes up thinking, “You know what would really brighten my day? More campaign emails and texts.”Unfortunately, campaigns are still expected to pay bills, print signs and literature, cover entry and filing fees, pay for gas, pay for technology, and direct voter contact to reach people across IL-15’s 17,000 square miles and 35 counties.The list goes on. So here we are.But you’re not reading this because fundraising is exciting. And you know the people in this district are worth fighting for.Last week, we talked about breaking the cycle.The “this district was drawn this way, so why bother” cycle. The “my vote won’t matter” cycle. The “nobody can beat Mary Miller here anyway” cycle.The reality is:No magical savior is coming. Chaotic rhetoric only divides. The millionaire and billionaire donors aren’t breaking down our doors.We do it by organizing in our communities. With visibility. With voter contact.And yes, with fundraising.Because campaigns like this do not run on inevitability. They run on people deciding their communities deserve representation that <a href="https://app.numero.ai/accounts/12962/email_broadcasts/%7B%7B%7Bbroadcast.speedygive_url%7D%7D%7D">actually shows up.</a>And right now, people are paying attention.Last cycle, Mary Miller had zero challengers. This cycle, two Republicans filed to challenge her in the primary, and four Democrats stepped up to run.That doesn’t happen when people are satisfied with the status quo. It happens when people are tired of feeling ignored.And that energy has only grown since our primary win with 49% of the vote.People are showing up. People are reaching out. People are asking how they can help.They are not waiting for someone to save them. They are taking action.One great example is how Paul Lange and Quincy stepped up a couple of weeks ago with a highly successful fundraising event! (Scroll down for photos!) Mary Miller has built a political brand around division and outrage. I’m Jennifer Todd, and I’m building this campaign for Congress around listening to people, including people who may not agree with me on every issue.Because representation is supposed to belong to everyone.I’m listening to all who reach out to us. Can we honestly say the same about Mary Miller?That’s why this campaign matters.And it’s why, fun or not, fundraising is so important right now.Because the opportunities to organize, reach voters, and build momentum are already here, starting tonight:📍 <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/may19maconcountydemwomen">TONIGHT | Decatur | May 19 </a>📍 <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/swansupportingjennifertodd">Springfield | June 15 </a>📍 <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/montgomerycountyforjennifertodd">Witt | June 18 </a>📍 <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/june26jennifertodd">Jacksonville | June 27</a>People are showing up.

<h1>Jennifer Todd</h1>

<h5>ENDORSEMENT OF JENNIFER TODD FOR CONGRESS, 15TH DISTRICT</h5>The Warren County Democratic Central Committee is proud to endorse Jennifer Todd in her race for the 15th District Congressional seat. Jennifer’s working-class roots allow her to truly understand the&nbsp;difficulties&nbsp;many people across the 15th District are facing.In particular, her experience as a nurse gives her firsthand insight into the challenges working families face in accessing quality healthcare and the fears rural communities have about losing their local hospitals.These problems are not new to rural Illinois, but they have been greatly magnified by the “big ugly bill” supported by Jennifer’s opponent in this race.&nbsp;We encourage you to learn more about Jennifer by visiting&nbsp;<a href="http://jentodd2026.us">jentodd2026.us</a>&nbsp;and casting your vote for her this fall.

<h2>April 21, 2026, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>While Mary Miller isn’t listening to the people of this district, I am. That’s why I’m running for Congress to fight for families who are being left behind on costs, farms, and opportunity.&nbsp;Affordability is the issue I hear everywhere I go. From gas and groceries to the cost of keeping farms running, families are being squeezed from every direction.What’s happening in Illinois farming should concern all of us.Young people who want to take over family farms are running into a wall of rising costs they simply cannot keep up with.<ul><li>Land is more expensive</li><li>Equipment costs more than ever</li><li>Passing a farm from one generation to the next is becoming harder every year</li></ul>The warning signs are already here. Fewer than 9% of Illinois farmers are under 35, while the average farmer is now over 58.&nbsp; (Source: USDA Census of Agriculture / Illinois Farm Bureau analysis)That is not just a statistic; it is a warning about the future of rural Illinois. <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/april21jentodd">https://secure.actblue.com/donate/april21jentodd</a> If we do not act, we lose the next generation of farmers and weaken the rural economy that holds our communities together.I want to change that.I want young people to be able to stay here, take over family farms, and build their futures in the same communities they grew up in.That means:<ul><li>Making land more affordable</li><li>Helping families invest in equipment</li><li>Protecting the ability to pass farms down without being forced to sell</li></ul>As a nurse and a mom, I understand what it means when hard work is not enough anymore. And I understand what it means when young people feel they have to leave just to get ahead.We have to be honest about the contrast.Mary Miller is a millionaire who does not face the same cost pressures as families in this district.She is not feeling what people here are feeling right now. Prices are rising on groceries, gas, and the cost of keeping farms running. Too often, she votes in line with those priorities, not the realities working families are living every day.That is not representation, it’s distance.This is where your support matters most.We are seeing Democrats win in districts like this all over the country, but those victories come down to one thing: having the resources to actually reach voters before Election Day.That means direct voter contact:&nbsp;Knocking doors Making calls Sending mail Running digital ads So every voter knows there is a real choice in this race.And, we hear you. Signs, t-shirts, billboards, and visibility across this district matter, and we want to put them everywhere people can see this campaign.I want to change that.That happens with support.

April 21

<h2>A Life in Nursing: A Journey of Connection and Care</h2>My nursing journey started with my mom, Ruth, when I was in third grade.That’s when she went back to school to become a nurse.At a time when most moms stayed home, and dads worked, she followed her passion, becoming an example for my brother and me that, at the time, I didn’t fully understand but was watching my future and what service looks like up close.<h4>Finding My Path</h4>You see, I didn’t start out planning to be a nurse.I went to the University of Evansville with the intention of studying secondary education and sports medicine. My goal was to be an athletic trainer.But in 1991, when I transferred to SIUC, something changed.I still remember that moment, standing with my mom in our kitchen, right before moving to Carbondale, and telling her I wanted to be a nurse.Her response, “It’s about time.”That fall, I started nursing school at Kaskaskia College.<h4>Learning the Heart of Healthcare</h4>As a nursing student, for my first job in the field, I worked as a nursing assistant at St. Mary’s Hospital in Centralia. I worked in medical-surgical units, the ICU, and telemetry.It was a high-pressure but practical major reality check about what nursing really is. It is not just tasks or charts. It is showing up for moms, dads, children, and too often, people who literally don’t have someone, at the hardest moments of their lives.One of my first patients, a woman who had suffered a stroke and didn’t speak much, was one of the first patients who made me feel like a nurse.It was simple; I would make silly faces when I walked into her room in the hopes of getting her to smile.She started calling me “Funny Face.”I’ll never forget her smile. She also provided me with a sobering introduction to the profound cycle of life and loss I would witness throughout my career.Her funeral was the first patient service I attended. That stays with you. It changes how you see people and how you understand care.<h4>A Career Without Borders</h4>Nursing took me across Illinois, Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, and California. Every hospital, every unit, and every patient taught me something different about healthcare and about people.Eventually, I settled in Florida and transitioned into hospice care. That is where I came to understand the deepest side of nursing.Hospice is not about giving up. It is about dignity, comfort, honesty, and making sure patients and families do not feel alone during some of the hardest moments of their lives.I cared for families trying to hold everything together while preparing to say goodbye to someone they loved. I cared for patients who did not want false promises. They wanted comfort, honesty delivered gently, and someone willing to sit beside them and listen.During that time, I was pregnant with my daughter, Jane, and my patients shared in that joy alongside me.One patient, who later moved into hospice care, gave Jane her very first stuffed animal. We still have it today.Another patient quietly saved her spare change to help me buy diapers because, as she told me, that was exactly what she had done for her own children years before.Those moments stay with you.They remind you that nursing is not just medications, procedures, or charts. It is relationships, trust, and the humanity people show each other even in the hardest moments. <h4>Fulfilling a Promise</h4>After Jane was born, I returned to bedside nursing. Before my mother passed away, she asked one thing of me: "Promise me you’ll do something in nursing that makes you happy." Since her passing, I have honored that promise by exploring every corner of the profession:<ul><li>Nurse Education: Sharing knowledge with the next generation.</li><li>Legal &amp; Clinical Review: Working for a law firm, reviewing medical records, and assisting in lawsuits.</li><li>Case Management: Assisting with Medicaid billing and insurance appeals, which provided the flexibility to move Jane and me back home to Illinois.</li><li>School Nursing: Bringing my experience full circle to care for students.</li></ul>Nursing has allowed me to challenge myself, learn the many sides of healthcare, and, most importantly, understand the profound impact of human connection.&nbsp;I’ve realized that while the technical skills are vital, it’s the "funny faces" and the shared stories that truly define a career in care.<h4>Managing Unexpected Change</h4>While working in the ICU after my daughter Jane was born, I woke up one morning with severe low back pain. I could still move and walk, so I did what nurses often do—I kept going and got myself to a chiropractor. But instead of improving, the pain escalated quickly.It got worse.Eventually, it became so intense that I nearly passed out. Imaging showed a large herniated disc, and in 2007, I underwent my first back surgery. I returned to work, determined to stay at the bedside I loved.Two years later, in 2009, the pain returned. This time, it required a second surgery, more complex, with spinal fusion and hardware to stabilize my spine. I went back to work again, but I was no longer able to fully meet the physical demands of ICU nursing. And because of my restrictions, I ultimately lost my position.So I did what nurses do when everything changes: I adapted. I packed up my life and moved with Jane so I could return to work in a different capacity, and eventually, I found my way back into nursing. I returned to the ICU for a time and later stepped into a Nurse Educator role in a Florida hospital. I then moved into a neurology unit in Orlando, continuing to care for patients in a different setting, but still at the bedside I had fought so hard to return to.Then the hardware failed.I underwent a second, two-stage spinal surgery. Afterward, my surgeon looked at me and said he had fixed my back, but he didn’t give me a new one. When I asked when I could return to work, the answer was clear. I would not be going back to bedside nursing.That moment changed everything.<h4>My New Nursing Normal</h4>Nursing had been my passion for all of my adult life, and this setback wasn’t going to change my commitment to patients.&nbsp;I transitioned into working from home, writing insurance appeals for a large hospital system, which allowed me to fight for the patient and the in-hospital services that were deemed medically necessary by their physician. It was still healthcare, still patient-centered—but from the other side of the system, where care is often decided by approvals, denials, and timing that patients cannot afford to lose. That role allowed me to bring Jane home to raise her here, where I grew up.I continued to follow where nursing needed me. I worked for a law firm reviewing medical records and supporting complex cases. This experience has shown me where our healthcare systems have failed not only patients but also those working at the bedside, due to short staffing and missed medications.&nbsp;I became a school nurse, bringing my experience back to where it first began, with children, families, and the everyday moments that shape a community’s health. Schools bring in dentists and eye doctors for students on Medicaid due to the inability to find the services that would accept the insurance.Over time, I began to see the same pattern in every place I had worked. Whether at the bedside, in hospice care, in hospitals, in schools, or in insurance appeals, I saw how deeply policy decisions shape patient outcomes. I saw how often delays, denials, and coverage gaps became barriers to care that nurses then had to try to solve in real time.And I saw something else, too.&nbsp;Our representation, our voice in Congress, was making too many decisions about healthcare without ever having lived what those decisions actually do to patients and families.&nbsp;When I look at the votes and positions from my now opponent, Mary Miller, I see support that leaves working families with higher costs, fewer protections, and more uncertainty in their healthcare and insurance coverage.That is not abstract to me. I have sat with patients waiting for approvals. I have helped families navigate insurance denials when time mattered. I have seen what those decisions feel like on the ground.<h4>That is why I am running for Congress.</h4>Because nurses understand what policy looks like when it becomes real. We understand what it means when a decision made in Washington shows up at a bedside, in a billing office, or in a family’s emergency room visit.We need more nurses in Congress, not fewer.We need people who understand that healthcare is not just a system on paper. It is a person waiting for answers, a family trying to make decisions under pressure, and a clinician trying to hold it all together when the system does not.My career has taken me from ICU bedsides to hospice rooms, from school health offices to insurance appeals and legal review. Everywhere I have gone, the lesson has been the same: care is connected, and policy is never separate from the people it touches.And nurses do not stop being nurses when we leave the hospital.We carry that responsibility, and those patients, with us everywhere we go.It is time that perspective had a place in Congress.

<h5>My friend Jennifer Todd and I have spent many hours traveling around the 15th District over the last year.</h5>During that time, we have had the opportunity to talk with many people in the district about their concerns regarding healthcare costs and availability, day-to-day affordability for working families, and crumbling infrastructure across the district. I am proud to support and vote for her in November! She needs all of our support in the general election against the incumbent, Mary Miller!-Paul Davis

<h2>About Jennifer: Democrat for Congress | IL-15</h2><h5>Jennifer Todd is a second-generation nurse, a mom, the daughter of a veteran, raised in a union home right here in Illinois.</h5>Jennifer spent her life serving others, not chasing political power, and now she’s running for Congress in Illinois’ 15th District to make sure working families, rural communities, and everyday people finally have a voice in Washington.Born and raised in southern Illinois, Jennifer knows what it’s like to work night shifts and still come up short on bills. She has experienced being on Medicaid, SNAP, and unemployment. She knows the struggles Central Illinois families are facing.As a registered nurse and a former school nurse, Jennifer has seen the hospital closures, school budget cuts, and broken promises from politicians that deeply hurt our families. That’s why she’s stepping up now to fight for the people she lives alongside every day.<h5>Jennifer’s campaign is rooted in showing up, listening, and doing the work.</h5>Since launching in January, she’s visited all 35 counties in the district, meeting with farmers, veterans, teachers, healthcare workers, and hardworking families. She has been hearing one consistent message: working families are tired of being forgotten.She’s running against Mary Miller, one of Congress’s most extreme and least effective members, who voted to slash Medicare, veterans’ care, rural healthcare funding, and even35 many basic public services. Jennifer believes we deserve better, someone who’s grounded in community, driven by values, and ready to serve with integrity. Her platform is focused on expanding access to healthcare, defending public education, and ensuring our veterans and working families get the resources they’ve earned.Jennifer Todd is not a political insider; she’s a neighbor, a nurse, and a fighter. And she’s ready to bring real representation to IL-15.<h2>Why I'm Running</h2>I’m running for Congress because 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.&nbsp;I’m a second-generation registered nurse, a mom, the daughter and granddaughter of a veteran, and a native Illinoisan. I’ve worked overnight shifts, relied on Medicaid and SNAP to keep my family afloat, and felt the stress of trying to make ends meet. I know what it’s like to fall asleep worried about health, bills, and whether our leaders even remember families like ours exist.Too many of our rural hospitals 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.&nbsp;I believe our district deserves someone who shows up, listens, and works side-by-side with the people she represents.&nbsp;Since launching this campaign in January, I’ve visited more than half of the 35 counties in IL-15, listening to farmers, teachers, nurses, veterans, small business owners, and young families. What I hear is the same everywhere: Republicans are exhausted by the chaos, Independents feel ignored, and Democrats are ready to fight again.I’m not a political insider or a wealthy self-funder. I’m a neighbor who believes deeply in service, community, responsibility, and empathy, values I learned from my parents, from nursing, and from this district. I’m running because IL-15 deserves more than sound bites and broken promises. We deserve leadership rooted in compassion, integrity, and hard work.&nbsp;That’s the campaign we’re building together, one conversation, one signature, one county at a time.

<h2>Upcoming Events</h2>

<h2>June 16, Tuesdays w Team Todd</h2>Farming is not just part of Illinois’ 15th District — it is the backbone of it.When farming is strong, our whole district is strong.It supports family businesses on Main Street, keeps equipment dealers and&nbsp;suppliers open, and drives the local economy in towns across central Illinois.It’s about generations of family farms woven into the fabric of our communities. Families who have worked on the same land for decades, passing it down.It’s jobs. It’s community. It’s the local economy.But right now, farmers are getting hit from both sides:Fuel, fertilizer, and seed costs are up Commodity prices aren’t keeping pace Margins are thinner than they’ve been in yearsThe result is simple: more risk, less stability, and a lot of families trying to figure out how to make the math work.And what I hear most often is this: farmers are doing everything right, but the system around them keeps changing and not to their benefit.What I’ve learned from listening to farmers is this: We need to bring more stability and fairness back into agricultural markets We need to address the underlying drivers of rising input costs We need Congress to take on the pressures driving those costs, including corporate pricing power, supply chain pressures, and energy volatilityWe need farms to be sustainable. And generational.That’s what’s at stake right now in this district, whether family farms can remain viable and whether rural communities can stay strong for the next generation.Not just production, but permanence. Not just this season, but the future of rural communities that depend on agriculture to survive.And that’s why the conversations we’ve had matter, because if we’re going to get this right, we have to start by listening to the people living it every day.But listening alone isn’t enough. We can only deliver for farmers if we win this election and have the power to act on what we’re hearing in Congress.We have a critical end-of-quarter deadline: midnight June 30. <a href="https://app.numero.ai/accounts/12962/email_broadcasts/%7B%7B%7Bbroadcast.speedygive_url%7D%7D%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donate Before June 30</a>What’s at stake in this election is whether we have leaders willing to listen, show up, and fight for solutions for farmers and rural communities like ours.We can only deliver for farmers if we win this election and have the ability to act on it in Congress.That means having the resources to reach voters across all 35 counties and build a campaign strong enough to win in November.If you’re able to support the campaign before June 30, every contribution helps us reach more voters, have more conversations, and keep building momentum.I’m a nurse, a mom, and someone committed to serving, representing, and legislating for everyone in our district, not just those who agree with me.Like you, I’m not a millionaire. I can’t self-fund this campaign.I need your help to keep this momentum up.Fundraising is my least favorite part of running for office, but it’s necessary.My office will never hang up on a constituent. I will attend office hours. I will host town halls. I will be accountable.Thank you for being part of this, and for everything you do to support rural Illinois.

It’s how campaigns get the win. They do the work, face to face, door to door, in neighborhoods across the state.It matters even more in this race.Because while we are out talking with voters where they live, Mary Miller refuses to meet her constituents: no town halls, no real presence in her district, not even in their neighborhoods.We’re doing the opposite. We show up. We listen. We meet people where they are.We know you are as invested in this win as we are.

Thank you for everything you're doing to elect Jennifer Todd.&nbsp;<h2>Coffee &amp; Conversation: Farming</h2>Coffee and Conversations started as part of Jennifer’s listening tour back in May of 2025 — a way to hear directly from people across all 35 counties and 17,000 square miles of this district through Zoom discussions so everyone can participate no matter where you live.While these are open to all topics every month, this month we’re opening with a focus on farming.Farmers across the district are dealing with rising costs, tighter margins, and uncertain markets, and they are looking for real solutions that help family farms stay viable for the next generation.Join the conversation and help us elect someone we can trust to be accountable to the people of the district.📅&nbsp;Saturday, June 20 🕙 10:00 AM CT 💻 Zoom: <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/HT8z7BGBS4mFOPtsbEjyNQ">Register Here!</a><a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/HT8z7BGBS4mFOPtsbEjyNQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Register now!</a>If you care about the future of farming in our district, I hope you’ll join us.&nbsp;

Priorities List

<h2>May 5, 2026, Tuesdays with Team Todd</h2>If you live in rural or central Illinois, you already know this: Reliable broadband isn’t a luxury. It’s essential. It’s how kids do their homework. It’s how farmers run modern operations. It’s how small businesses reach customers. It’s how families access healthcare through telehealth. And it’s how people reach emergency services when every second matters.Right now, too many communities across our district are still being left behind. <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/may5tuesdays">https://secure.actblue.com/donate/may5tuesdays</a>James, a farmer in Greenville, told me firsthand that broadband access is a huge need in his rural area. Modern farming depends on real-time information every day, from weather reports to markets, prices, and more.When that connection fails, it is not just inconvenient. It affects how work gets done and how families make a living.Dropped connections. Slow speeds. Or no access at all.That is not just inconvenient. It is holding our communities back.We need to treat broadband like the essential infrastructure it is, just like roads, bridges, and electricity.That means investing in rural connectivity, expanding access, and making sure central Illinois is never an afterthought when federal resources are on the table.We also need to think differently about how we deliver it. Do the lines always have to be placed underground? Could we expand access by running broadband along existing power infrastructure, or using the same routes that once brought telephone service out to farms?These are the kinds of questions I have been asking for the past year, because the how matters if we are serious about reaching every community. <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/may5tuesdays">https://secure.actblue.com/donate/may5tuesdays</a>The difference is simple.I will work to expand access, invest in rural infrastructure, and push for practical solutions that actually reach farm families, small towns, and underserved communities.Mary Miller has opposed key efforts to expand the infrastructure needed to bring reliable broadband to rural communities like ours.That choice has consequences. When communities are left behind, we lose opportunity. We lose growth. We lose competitiveness.We cannot afford to fall further behind.I am running for Congress because I believe central and rural Illinois deserve better than being overlooked.We deserve to be connected.If you agree, I am asking you to support this campaign today.<a href="https://app.numero.ai/accounts/12962/email_broadcasts/%7B%7B%7Bbroadcast.speedygive_url%7D%7D%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donate</a>Every contribution helps us reach more voters, build more momentum, and fight for the infrastructure our communities have been waiting for.Together, we can build a future where every family, every farm, and every small town has the tools they need to succeed.JenniferP.S.
