| Sandeep, our family comes from humble beginnings. We faced economic hardship when we first immigrated to the United States. But we worked hard to achieve the American Dream. And as parents, we couldn't be more proud of Raja for helping others do the same.
Sandeep -- we'll be frank with you. Never in our wildest dreams did we think Raja would become a Congressman. But we know that this extraordinary job comes with many challenges. Between fighting against those who threaten our democracy to ensuring that people aren't left behind by unfair systems, our son is doing so much for each and every one of us.

You can also view it at this link. Yesterday, Congressman Raja participated in a roundtable discussion on workforce development and career technical education at John A. Logan College in Southern Illinois which received a $4.2 million grant. He explained that "when I and [Glenn] "GT" Thompson, my Republican colleague, authored the legislation that funds Perkins programs, we didn't fully realize how wonderfully the money would be put to use," noting that "I'm from Peoria... I understand how vital these communities are for our economy, and we need to do everything we can to enhance them." Last Wednesday, Congressman Raja and other members of the House Select Committee on China sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin asking the Executive Branch to do more to address China's scientific research in the territory of our Arctic allies. They wrote that "the Arctic is critical to U.S. national security interests and the defense of our homeland, and we must work with our allies to preserve our defense treaty commitments."
