I can trace my drive to achieve success to the first night I slept on the floor in the apartment my mother got for us after my father left.

Lying there, I could honestly say that my life sucked and I was not going to stand for that.

Growing up poor, I took advantage of the things Democrats championed and the people of our country provided: Pell Grants and school lunch programs to name two.

Those helping hands gave me (and people like me) a debt of gratitude I worked to pay back through service — first in the Marines, and now in Congress.

The things I want today are not exotic. I am not looking to own a yacht, the Hope Diamond, or to have billionaires throw money at me. I want loving relationships with family, I want to help my constituents, and I want an America that lives up to its ideals.

As I think about what’s next – how to stand up to Senator Sinema – what I learned growing up and during my time in the Marines is that I can’t do it alone.

I’ll need your help if we’re going to be ready against Sinema's mega donors, or for Kari Lake to enter the race. Because if we’re not, we’ll get swallowed up fast. So please:

Can you use this link to contribute $5, $10 or whatever you can afford today? It all adds up when we’re all chipping in. And truthfully, that’s the only way we have a chance to win: together.

The fourteen-year-old kid with tears in his eyes because he had no bed to sleep in would be amazed to see me today.

And I think the Marine that came home from Iraq would be proud, as well.

Thanks,

Ruben
