I’ve had to make some sacrifices

It's Elaine Luria, and Raja said I could reach out. On November 8th, 2022, after a difficult, expensive, and hard-fought reelection campaign, I called my opponent to offer my concession and congratulations. It wasn't a pleasant call to make. But I've never second-guessed the decisions that led me there. If we haven't met: I entered the Naval Academy at 17 and spent 20 years in the Navy as a nuclear engineer, my entire career aboard combatant ships.  In 2018, I ran for Congress and flipped Virginia's 2nd District.  I'm also a mom, which is still the best job I've ever had. In Congress, I served on the January 6th Committee, knowing full well it could cost me my seat. That cycle, outside far-right groups spent $6,059,677 against me. Add a national environment that was brutal for frontline Democrats, and I came up short. For me, the worst outcome isn’t losing a fight. It’s going down with no fight at all. So I'm back, running to win this seat back from Jen Kiggans, because I can't sit on the sidelines and watch our country descend into chaos. The Cook Political Report rates VA-02 a Toss-Up. This is one of Democrats’ best pickup opportunities in the country. Republicans know it too. Jen Kiggans called Elon Musk's DOGE cuts "so necessary," even as they hit Hampton Roads hard. Now Musk's super PAC has started spending to keep her in office and beat me. That's why September 30th matters. It's my last end-of-quarter FEC deadline before Election Day, and the report that follows is public. Reporters, national groups, and Kiggans' allies will all read it to decide how seriously to take this race. Will you split a $25 donation between my campaign and Equal Opportunity Now before the September 30th deadline to help me flip VA-02 and win back the House? DONATE TODAY TO HELP ME FLIP THIS SEAT! Our survival as a free nation depends on countering this administration, so believe me when I say I’m going to put up one hell of a fight to win this race.

You’re the *last Ohio Democrat* we need to hear from today

ALERT: Early voting in the 2026 Midterm Elections is already underway in some states! EQUALITY PAC OHIO VOTER SURVEY You’ve been selected to represent GATES MILLS in our September Voter Registration Poll. As [1] of only [5] participants from Ohio, your responses will weigh heavily on our data. Please take 1 minute to answer honestly: YES, I AM REGISTERED TO VOTE >> NO / UNSURE >> Hey, Sandeep! It’s so important we receive your response to our Voter Registration Poll today, and here’s why: Voter turnout is the core tenet of Democrats’ election‑winning strategy. If Democrats don’t turn out… Trump keeps his unchecked majorities. And we could say goodbye to: Vote‑by‑mail… Social Security… Smithsonian Museums… And everything Trump wants to RUIN! Sandeep, we’ve selected just [5] Ohio Democrats to gauge voter participation before early voting begins. Without your honest response, we won’t have an accurate picture of voter turnout in Ohio. Can you spare just a minute to confirm your status? >> YES, I AM REGISTERED TO VOTE >> NO / UNSURE >> Thank you, Equality PAC Sandeep, thank you for supporting Equality PAC! Your support is helping us win historic elections nationwide for LGBTQ+ rights and freedoms. Right now, we’re laser‑focused on electing LGBTQ+ and allied Democrats in battleground races – so we can flip the House, save the Senate, and pass the Equality Act to ensure full civil rights and protections for all LGBTQ+ Americans. RUSH $26 NOW TO HELP ELECT OUR ENDORSED EQUALITY DEMOCRATS >> We'll be honest, Sandeep – Bigoted Republicans like Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are absolutely terrified by the momentum that Equality Democrats have on our side this year. But without enough grassroots support, we could face historic rollbacks of everything we have fought for decades to gain – including marriage equality. That’s why this year’s midterm elections are considered the most consequential yet for LGBTQ+ Americans – and why we need your support right now to defend our freedoms. Will you chip in a donation of $26 or more to help power Equality Democrats to victory and CRUSH bigoted Republicans once and for all? >> RUSH $26 NOW TO HELP ELECT OUR ENDORSED EQUALITY DEMOCRATS >> If you really want to go, click here to unsubscribe from our activist list.

Can I level with you?

Can I level with you? When I was growing up in Peoria, my family didn't have much. But we had something that mattered more than money: The belief that if you worked hard enough, this country would meet you halfway. That the doors would open. That the next generation would have it better than the last. I built my entire life around that belief. But I look around today and I'm concerned. Not for myself — for the families who are where my family was. The ones working two jobs and still falling behind. The kids graduating into mountains of debt. The parents who are doing everything right and still can't afford to keep a roof over their heads. The American Dream that saved my family is slipping out of reach for millions of people just like us. And I refuse to accept that as inevitable. That's exactly why I started Equal Opportunity Now.  Because I genuinely believe that if we don't fight like hell right now — to elect leaders who give a damn, to take on the powerful interests rigging the system against working families, to build something that lasts beyond this moment — we are going to lose something we can never get back. Wednesday, September 30th, is our last end-of-quarter deadline before Election Day. The number we hit tells the political world whether Equal Opportunity Now is the real deal heading into the midterms. Whether this movement has the grassroots muscle to back up everything we've promised. I need 50 donations by midnight to stay on target. That's the goal. That's what makes this real. Will you chip in $25 or $50 before midnight to help us close our last quarter before Election Day strong? DONATE NOW TO HELP HIT OUR GOAL! This is our opportunity to make a statement that we’re a force to be reckoned with.  Let’s make it happen. — Raja Krishnamoorthi Founder | Equal Opportunity Now Visit Our Website To Learn More!   Equal Opportunity Now is d/b/a Reviving American Jobs Again  PAC (RAJA PAC) Equal Opportunity Now P.O.

The latest poll

A HUGE moment for our campaign (polling update)

I just got a brand-new polling update and had to reach out directly: For the second time, we’re leading in our Kansas Senate race. A new poll released this morning shows us running ahead of Sen. Roger Marshall by 2 points!    We’re expanding our lead at the most critical time. I’ll explain why in a moment — but if you’re fired up and ready to keep up our momentum, I’ll ask up front: Will you chip in $20 or more right away between my campaign and Equal Opportunity Now to help us keep the lead and win this race?   Roger Marshall and his allies have dumped over $7 million to attack us — and still, this grassroots movement is proving that when hardworking folks come together, we can win.   But here’s the bad news: Our new lead means Marshall and his super PAC allies will launch new ads and spend millions more dollars to attack our campaign — all in an effort to crush our incredible momentum.   We’re already being outspent in this campaign — and with less than 50 days until Election Day, we can’t afford to lose ground now. This poll makes it clear — we can win, but it’ll take a massive grassroots response to help fight back against what’s coming. That’s why I’m counting on you:   Please chip in $20 or as much as you can spare right now between our campaign and Equal Opportunity Now to defend our lead and help bring Kansas values to Washington. DONATE TODAY TO FLIP THIS CRUCIAL SENATE SEAT! Thank you for being part of this incredible team. — Adam (via Equal Opportunity Now) Visit Our Website To Learn More!   Equal Opportunity Now is d/b/a Reviving American Jobs Again  PAC (RAJA PAC) Equal Opportunity Now P.O.
