John,
Over the last year, you’ve gotten to know Junaid and why he’s running for Congress. In case you missed it, Junaid is a small business owner, community advocate, and longtime Illinoisian who’s tired of corporations and their politicians in Washington getting rich while everyday people suffer.
Now, we want to introduce you to our corporate-owned, centrist opponent Raja Krishnamoorthi.
Here’s what you need to know about Raja:
 * 
   In
   just
   four
   years
   in
   Congress,
   Raja’s
   taken
   almost
   $2
   million
   from
   corporations
   and
   special
   interests. 
   That
   includes
   $350,000
   from
   private
   healthcare
   companies
   and
   Big
   Pharma,
   and
   almost
   $400,000
   from
   the
   financial
   sector,
   insurance
   companies,
   and
   real
   estate
   interests.
 * 
   Every
   year
   in
   Congress,
   Raja
   fights
   against
   popular
   legislation
   like
   universal
   healthcare
   and
   cancelling
   student
   debt. 
   Instead,
   he
   chooses
   to
   work
   with
   right-wing
   GOP
   leaders
   on
   “college
   outcomes”
   rather
   than
   with
   progressive
   members
   of
   his
   own
   party
   on
   transformative
   action
   that
   actually
   addresses
   the
   problems
   we’re
   facing.
 * 
   Raja
   is
   constantly
   missing
   in
   action. 
   It’s
   an
   open
   secret
   in
   Illinois
   that
   he’s
   stockpiling
   his
   cash
   for
   an
   Illinois
   Senate
   seat,
   leaving
   the
   people
   of
   Illinois’
   Eighth
   as
   an
   afterthought
   to
   his
   career
   ambitions.
And that’s just the start, John. Raja clearly isn’t willing to fight for the people of our district, but Junaid is. In the past decade, Junaid has marched for Medicare for All and protested to shut down ICE facilities across the state. Now, he’s taking that fighting spirit to Congress.
People are fired up about our race and we've already built some serious momentum. Right now, our 100% grassroots campaign is one of the top-funded progressive campaigns in the entire country. We’re not slowing down anytime soon.

Our future is up to us. Let’s take power away from corporations and their politicians and put it back where it belongs — in the hands of the people.
In Solidarity,
Junaid for Congress
Junaid is a father, husband, community organizer, and longtime Illinoisan running a 100% grassroots campaign to represent Illinois’ 8th District in Congress. He’s fighting to put power back in our hands, end corporate influence in Washington, and pass bold solutions like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and tuition-free public college.
