April 14, 2026, Tuesdays with Team Todd

Dear Friends,

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: 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:

• Kitchen tables

• Small towns

• Farms

• Healthcare workers, educators, and small business owners

• And more, as every voice matters.

Across this district, how we show up depends on distance:

• Closer to Madison County: meet and greets, house gatherings, local events

• Farther counties: concentrated visits, multiple stops in a day, diners, and community spaces where people already gather

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 here.

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.

Jennifer

P.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. If you’re able, I’d be grateful for your support today.
