When my family moved here from India, I was three months old. My parents were chasing something they believed in: the American Dream. When my father lost his income, public housing kept a roof over our heads and SNAP put food on our table. And when we eventually settled in Illinois, Peoria District 150 public schools gave me an education. And the money I saved working at McDonald’s helped me get to college and law school. My parents used to say: “Think of the greatness of this country. Whatever you do, make sure this country is there for the next families who need it.” That’s why I’m fighting so hard right now. Because Donald Trump is systematically dismantling every piece of the fabric that made my story possible. If you agree, I’m hoping you’ll join my campaign with your generous donation right now. Or continue reading to discover how I’m going to make the American Dream possible for everyone. The Trump economy is crushing Illinois families. Housing costs are skyrocketing. Healthcare premiums are exploding. His chaotic tariffs are devastating our farmers and small businesses. He’s cutting SNAP benefits and Medicaid while families are struggling to afford groceries. I’ve spent the last year crisscrossing Illinois — visiting soybean farmers in Atlanta, produce distributors in Chicago, brewery owners in Urbana, manufacturers in Rockford. They’re all telling me the same thing: Trump’s policies are making it impossible to plan, to grow, to survive. That’s why I’ve developed a comprehensive plan to restore the American Dream and make life more affordable for every Illinoisan — from childhood to retirement.Here’s what I’ll fight for as your next U.S. Senator: For our children: Create a nationwide free lunch program so no child goes hungry at school. Repeal Trump’s devastating cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. Build new childcare capacity and expand the Child Tax Credit to $4,000 per child. For young adults: Double federal investment in career and technical education. Expand Pell Grants and reverse Trump’s eligibility restrictions. Make college outcomes transparent so students can make informed decisions. For families buying homes: Create a refundable tax credit for first-time homebuyers. Cut red tape to increase affordable housing supply. Stop financial interests from boxing families out of the market. For small businesses and farmers: Close Trump’s tariff loophole that’s creating chaos. Provide low-interest loans to farmers hurt by the tariff war. Support family farms and crack down on anti-competitive behavior by big corporations. For seniors: Eliminate federal taxes on Social Security benefits. Expand Medicare’s drug negotiation power. Hold Pharmacy Benefit Managers accountable for driving up prescription costs. The cost of living is too damn high. But it doesn’t have to be this way.I’ve lived the American Dream. Now I’m fighting to protect it — because the future of this country depends on it. If this vision resonates with you, I need your help. This campaign is powered by people who believe every Illinoisan deserves a fair shot at the middle class. Can you chip in today to help me win this Senate race and put this plan into action? Thank you for standing with me, Raja
