Hi,
I was born in Toledo, Ohio.
When I was just 8 years old, I was kidnapped in Iraq by my father during a trip to visit his family.
I spent four years living under Saddam Hussein’s brutal and repressive regime where women had no rights, speaking out could cost you your life, and my future wasn’t my own.
I understand the sweetness of freedom because I know what it’s like to be deprived of it.
I’m Lieutenant Colonel Alea Nadeem, and ever since I returned to my family and my life in America at 12 years old, I’ve been fighting for freedom.
Right out of high school, I joined the Air Force to defend our great country after 9/11, and now I’m running for Congress to continue my service and put America First. Will you chip in a donation to help me win this fight?
