A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?
Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

The Department of Homeland Security is using administrative subpoenas, a secretive tool issued without a judge's signature, to go after people lawfully reporting ICE activity or criticizing DHS policies.
This is a direct attack on our First Amendment rights and we're fighting back.
