Patriot,

I want to share something personal with you. 

I really hope you’ll take the time to read this message, and by the time you finish, you’ll chip in to help out.

At just 8 years old, I was kidnapped from my home in Ohio and taken to Iraq. Trapped under Saddam Hussein’s brutal regime with no rights, no voice, and no way out, I learned what it meant to lose your freedom overnight.

But thanks to the courage of the FBI, our American troops, and my mother, I was able to finally make it back home to America. Before I learned the value of freedom, I now saw the value of real, dedicated service, even in the midst of danger. 

I promised myself that if this country ever needed me, I would stand up and serve. 

Then 9/11 struck, and as the country was gripped with fear, I remembered my promise and joined the Air Force. And for over 20 years, I served, deployed, protected Americans abroad, and defended the very freedoms I once had taken from me. I even went back to Iraq, not as a captive this time, but to try and bring freedom to others.

Now I’m running for Congress because those freedoms are being chipped away again: this time by weak leadership here at home. And after 43 YEARS in Washington, Marcy Kaptur has forgotten what service looks like.

I haven’t.

I’ve dedicated my life to service.

That’s why it tears me up to see what has happened to Northwest Ohio under Marcy Kaptur. 

<<400,000 jobs left abandoned. 

<

<< Crime is swallowing our cities. 

When is enough going to be enough?

That’s why I decided I have to run for office. Northwest Ohio deserves real leadership that votes on issues that benefit the district – not DC. It needs someone who will fight for Ohio industries and people. 

But I can only fight this battle with you standing beside me. This race is tight, but we can win it. Last quarter, we more than doubled Marcy Kaptur's small-dollar fundraising. 

My team and I are building a winning campaign, but we’re going to need everyone's help to get across the finish line.

That’s why I’m asking you that if you believe in freedom — real, American freedom — will you chip in today?

I know what it feels like to lose your freedom.

I will never let it happen to our children, our families, or our country.

Thank you for believing in second chances — and for believing in me.

With gratitude,

Alea Nadeem

Conservative for Congress

A NOTE FROM ALEA NADEEM

I love America — not just because I was born here, but because I know what it’s like to live without freedom.

When I was only 8 years old, I was taken from my home in Ohio and left behind in Iraq to live under Saddam Hussein’s brutal regime.

Overnight, I lost the freedoms so many of us take for granted and was forced to live in a country where women had no rights, speaking out could cost you your life, and your future was not your own.

When I finally made it back to America at 12 years old, I promised myself I would give back to the country that never stopped fighting for me. That’s why, after 9/11, I joined the Air Force. 

For over 20 years, I have served this country in the Air Force and rose to become a lieutenant colonel. I protected America’s interests abroad, advised senior military leaders, and defended the freedoms too many take for granted.

Now, I’m taking that fight to Washington, and your donation of any amount would make a meaningful difference to power me in this mission.

Our enemies are growing bolder.

Our freedoms are being eroded.

Weak leaders in Washington have forgotten what it means to serve.

I haven’t.

I know what it means to fight for this country, because I’ve done it my whole life.

That’s why I’m hoping I can count on your support. Donate today to send new Republican leadership to Congress and expand our majority.

Thank you for standing with me.
Alea Nadeem
Candidate for U.S. Congress
