Patriot,

I wanted to personally follow up after my team sent you our end-of-year memo.

If you read it, you saw the reality: this race is real, competitive, and winnable. And with new district lines in place, OH-09 is finally a seat Republicans can flip.

But I don’t want you to hear this from strategists or national committees. I want you to hear it from me.

I’m running because I’m not a politician — and I’m not beholden to the system that’s failed Ohio families for decades.

I survived a childhood most people can’t imagine. I served this country in uniform. I’ve lived the consequences of weak leadership and broken priorities — and I know exactly what’s at stake when Washington loses touch with the people it’s supposed to serve.

That’s why I believe I can beat Marcy Kaptur.

After 40 years in Congress, she’s become a reliable vote for her party — not a fighter for Northwest Ohio. She’s voted with the same failed leadership that’s driven up costs, weakened our borders, and left working families behind.

My campaign is focused on three simple pillars:

• Putting America First — securing the border, defending our sovereignty, and standing with President Trump

• Fighting for working families — lower costs, less red tape, and an economy that rewards hard work

• Restoring accountability in Washington — no more career politicians coasting on seniority while Ohio pays the price

Our FEC-mandated End-of-Year fundraising deadline is just days away, and every dollar raised now signals momentum heading into 2026.

If you’re able, I’m asking you to stand with me today — even $10 makes a difference.

This seat could help decide the future of Congress. And together, we can win it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this — and for being part of this fight.

Alea Nadeem

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
