Macías’s Message is Resonating Across the District as She Pledges to Give Voters a Choice

Chicago, IL — In case you missed it, Back of the Yards native Mayra Macías raised over $100,000 in 72 hours for her campaign to succeed Congressman Chuy García — a clear sign that her message is resonating. She’s running a grassroots-powered campaign and is not accepting corporate PAC dollars.

“I’m overwhelmed by the response we’ve received in fewer than three days,” said Macías. “I’ve talked to so many people who are contributing to a political campaign for the very first time. They and everyone I’m meeting throughout the district want a choice, and they want someone who understands them — who’s never had anything handed to them. They want a fighter who will protect our immigrant community, make life more affordable, and have the credibility to protect our democracy from Trump. That’s exactly what I’ll do in Congress.”
