You ever look back at your life and ask yourself, "What if?"? I sure have:

What if I'd never had the chance to finish up my studies after dropping out of high school? What if the problems of my past followed me into adulthood? What if I had listened to the people who doubted me because of the color of my skin?

As a son of working-class Chinese immigrants who got his start in politics after replying to a classified ad -- on a dare no less! -- becoming the Democratic Party's highest-ranking Asian American staffer was never anything more than a pipe dream.

But that's the kind of promise our party is founded on: Creating a country where stories like mine are not just possible, but within reach for millions of people. That's the future President Biden and Vice President Harris, Democrats in Congress, and all of us here at the DNC are working for every day -- and it's your support that makes this vision a reality.

At the DNC, we're already laying the critical groundwork for Democrats to win in 2021 and 2022. Can I count on you to make a $7 donation to the DNC today?

My parents both worked multiple jobs to pay our bills. They waited tables, sold souvenirs, sewed clothes, and did everything they could to give my brothers and me a better life. Like so many folks, they struggled to get by -- and that's why President Biden and Vice President Harris's bold agenda to create jobs and support working families is so important to me.

This year, Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan and delivered relief to families across our country. Now, we need to keep fighting for an economy that works for everyone -- but we're going to need to elect more Democrats to get the job done.

Looking to next year's midterms and beyond, I know that we can expand the map and shape the future of the Democratic Party. But we won't be able to do it unless we invest early in communities of color and those who are often left behind by our political system.

At DNC HQ, we're rolling up our sleeves, getting organizers and voter protection experts on the ground, making historic investments in state parties and grassroots infrastructure, and more. And we're counting on your support of those efforts.

Will you donate $7 to the DNC today to help build our country back better and elect Democrats nationwide?

Thanks for being a part of this Team,
