John,

As you may know, I grew up right here in Omaha. Here’s a picture of me as a little girl who had no idea she would be running for Congress one day:

I’m not a career politician; I’m an everyday person. I was raised by a single mom, I worked my way through college, and I was the first person in my family to graduate with a Bachelor's degree. I know what it’s like to work hard every single day — and now I’m ready to work every day for the people of Nebraska’s Second Congressional District.

To set ourselves up for success in the crucial midterm elections, our campaign has to invest in key resources now. But I don’t have a network of ultra-wealthy donors at my disposal, and I don’t take contributions from corporate PACs. I’m relying on grassroots supporters like you to power my campaign and ensure I can flip this seat blue.

I hate to ask for even a dollar of your hard-earned money, and I wouldn’t ask if it weren’t important — but this is really important. Please, if you are able, can you chip in to my campaign today?

With gratitude,
Alisha
