| These emails are the best way for our campaign to stay in touch with supporters like you. If you'd prefer, you can unsubscribe here. Hi Sandeep, it's Raja Krishnamoorthi, Democrat for Senate. I'm sure you're getting a lot of emails from a lot of campaigns right now, and in a moment, I am going to ask you to chip in to my campaign as we mobilize voters in the final stretch of my election. >> But first, can I quickly reintroduce myself and tell you a bit about my story? I'm a racial, religious, ethnic minority immigrant with 29 letters in my name. Growing up in Peoria, Illinois, I sometimes felt like an outsider because of my identity. My mother always dressed in a sari. My parents spoke Tamil, a South Indian language, most of the time. We even traveled with our rice cooker. My immigrant parents worked night and day to give us a better life, but we fell on hard times. So, we lived for a time in Public Housing and relied on Food Stamps to eat. And eventually, with a lot of hard work, help from our community, and these essential government programs, we achieved our American Dream. But the truth is, everything that made that story possible is under threat right now. Donald Trump is deploying masked agents into the streets to destroy the lives of so many immigrant families. He spreads fear and hate towards anyone who looks different or comes from a different background. He's destroying essential programs like Public Housing and Food Stamps. And like many of you, I'm completely fed up with this insanity. Every night at the dinner table, my parents would tell me: "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 running for Senate. Because if we don't take urgent action, this country as we know it may cease to exist for the next families who need it. My election is coming up in just 25 days, and this will be one of the FIRST opportunities of 2026 to send a signal that we're DONE with Trump's cruelty and chaos.
Thank you for your support, Raja
