I just spoke with CNN:

Sandeep, I'll tell you what I just told CNN: I'm doing everything in my power to defend our country, keep it safe, and counter any threats from foreign adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party. But now, extreme Republicans are criticizing my bipartisan efforts and working overtime to defeat strong Democrats like me. I'm fighting back -- but I can't do it alone. So please, will you consider rushing in $100 before midnight to help us defeat these extremists in this next election? >> Sandeep, I just spoke with CNN on a very pressing matter: I was just appointed to the special committee to investigate human rights violations and the threats passed by the Chinese Communist Party. I'm putting politics aside to rise to this occasion and keep our country safe. Hear me: I will never -- NEVER -- fold to the pressure of foreign actors who want to tear down our democracy. But far-right Republicans are criticizing our bipartisan efforts which is why -- now more than ever before -- I need my strongest supporters behind me. Sandeep, I refuse to allow partisan games to stand in the way of protecting our country from foreign adversaries like the CCP. That's why I need your help to defend my seat from Republicans' far-right attacks. So please, Sandeep: Can I count on you to chip in $100 before midnight? >> Chip in $100 immediately >> Chip in $19 immediately >> Chip in $24 immediately >> Chip in $50 immediately >> Chip in $100 immediately >> Or chip in another amount >>   Thanks for having my back, Raja             Raja represents Illinois in Congress.
