I grew up as a racial, religious, and ethnic minority immigrant with 29 letters in my name. My family worked hard to achieve the American Dream, but we faced tough times and had to rely for a time on food stamps and public housing to get by. But thanks to these programs, a lot of hard work, and support from our community, we defied the odds and found a path to the middle class. ![]() Look, there aren't a whole lot of people with backgrounds and stories like mine in the halls of Congress. When I first ran for office, a lot of people told me that I didn't have the right background or connections to win. It wasn't the first time I was written off — but voters proved them wrong. Together we defied the odds again – and I had the honor of being elected as Illinois' first Indian-American Congressman. ![]() Now, I'm trying to defy the odds one more time. There's a lot at stake right now — our democracy is under threat, ICE is running rampant, and working families are struggling. You can bet that Donald Trump and his far-right MAGA allies don't want to see me in the U.S. Senate. And they'll throw everything at me to stop us from winning. That's why I need to ask for your support, Sandeep. This is an uphill battle, but I know firsthand what defying the odds looks like — and I know we can do it again.
Thank you for your support, Raja Krishnamoorthi
