John, I wanted to share a personal story -- and I hope you’ll take the time to read it. But if you’re short on time, would you consider chipping in $15 to support ASPIRE before you log off? Your support will help us stop Republicans from winning key races and elect a diverse Democratic Majority in the House. >>

My 5 year old came home and asked me why a bigger kid kept calling him Chinese Boy.

(My son, confused, told the boy "I’m a New Jersey Boy.")

My son laughed it off but my eyes welled up.

Because discrimination is still alive.

Because my two little boys will face it.

And because my boy's story is not unique.

With hate on the rise -- especially violence against Asian Americans -- I believe it is vital we elect more diverse Democrats. But we can’t do this without your help. It’s never been more critical to keep ASPIRE fully funded. Every dollar you donate helps us replace Republicans with diverse Democrats. Will you chip in $15 before midnight? >>

My parents immigrated to the United States 50 years ago.

My dad became a scientist working to cure cancer and Alzheimer's.

My mom became a nurse and cared for New Jersey families in New Jersey hospitals.

But even though my parents spoke English, people mocked them for their accents.

John, I ran for Congress because I wanted to make a difference for families like mine.

I was elected the first ever Korean American Democrat in the House -- but there’s so much more work to be done.

I truly -- truly -- believe that ASPIRE’s work will move our country forward and help kids who look like mine.

If you believe in our work too, then please chip in $15 before midnight. Your gift will go directly to registering voters, training staff, and electing a diverse Democratic House Majority. >>

Thank you,
Andy
