Hi, John! We’re Raja’s parents, Dr. K.S. and Vijaya Krishnamoorthi -- and we’re reaching out to tell you why we’re so proud of our son. We’d love it if you would read this whole email -- but if you’re short on time, will you chip in $14 to help us reach 507 grassroots donations for Raja before midnight? It would mean the world to him to have your support. >>

John, 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.

Us with Raja in Washington!

John, our son has never taken anything for granted. Raja knows what it’s like to struggle. It’s why he works so hard to make sure every American has a shot to defy the odds just like he did. We know this in our hearts: Raja is exactly who we need in Congress. That’s why we’re stepping in for him today. So please, can we count on you to chip in just $14 before midnight? >>

John -- 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.

So now, we’re doing what parents do: We’re stepping in and helping our son. We know it would mean the world to Raja to see 507 grassroots supporters step up in this moment. What do you say, John: Can you help Raja and chip in $14 before midnight? >>
