I want you to know this:

Sandeep, I wanted to take some time today to share with you a personal note. I know it's an alarming time in our country right now, but I hope you'll read until the end. Rep. Krishnamoorthi and his parents I'm the proud son of two Indian immigrants. My family faced economic hardship when they first came here. I grew up for a time in public housing and on food assistance. I never imagined that one day I would become a Congressman. That's why I don't take this job for granted, not even for a single day. My family is the story of immigrants -- that's why I'm fighting to protect refugees and immigrants. My family is made up of strong women -- that's why I'm fighting for a woman's right to choose. My family faced prejudice -- that's why I'm fighting to stop hate crimes. My family faced economic hardship -- that's why I'm fighting for a strong social safety net. I will never forget the struggles my family and I faced. That's why I'm committed to giving every American opportunities to succeed -- and more. Sandeep, I'm asking for your support today to help fight for the America that made my story possible. Democrats and I have an ambitious agenda, but we can't get it done without widespread support. If my story resonates with you, and if you're as excited as I am about the future we can build, will you consider rushing in $14 before my End of Week Deadline in 24 hours? >> DONATE I'm proud of where I came from. And I am here because of my parents, my family, my public school teachers, my neighbors and the communities who helped me along the way. I had their help then.

The son of Indian immigrants, Raja grew up for a time on food stamps and in public housing. He knows the struggles countless Americans face every day.
