Meet Rishi at our home and let us re-define a better future for Silicon Valley

Hi Friend,

Deepika and I are delighted to invite you to join us over hors d'oeuvre and wine evening to support our friend Rishi Kumar's run for U.S Congress from Congressional District 18. Rishi is a valley hi-tech executive currently serving his second term as Saratoga City's Councilmember and hugely successful in our community with a solid branding.

Why do I support Rishi? Reasons are plenty

·A hi-tech executive (proficient in software, net neutrality and heck even proficient in AI/ML technologies J) – like many of us. It's about time to have a high tech leader in Congress from Valley! I have had enough of career politicians. Rishi is there in public service for the right reason, operating with authenticity and integrity. I trust in Rishi to represent us well.

·Very personable and approachable. Rishi is the guy who rolls up his sleevs and puts in the time; organizes community events, runs youth empowerment programs such as Lego Robotics, entrepreneurship bootcamps for our children, etc. He was even on a California Department of Education panel that has defined a K-12 Computer Science curriculum that will create a computer science offering in every public school of California.

·Fights for ordinary resident's causes. For example, he single-handedly worked with California Public Utilities Commission to keep the water rates down for Saratoga and a million residents of the valley. He single handedly launched innovative programs to bring Saratoga's burglaries down by 47%. Huge! Am I surprised that he has been recruited by so many other Silicon Valley cities to help drop their crime? This crime problem is a huge one impacting every city of Silicon Valley. Seemingly, Rishi is the only guy who got the gravity of the problem and worked hard to address it.

·Believes in getting the job done for us! No air, no fuss. A true people's person.

·Lastly, based on data I am confident that Rishi will win this run and will represent us well as the United State's 5^th Indian American Congressman.

Rishi is running a good grassroots campaign, as he usually does and based on voter feedback is tracking well to become Silicon Valley's representative in United States Congress. Rishi is the exemplary community, tech and political leader we need representing Silicon Valley in Washington and we are going all out to support Rishi's run towards a strong win.

Please join us in supporting Rishi at a fundraiser we are hosting at our home on Sunday June 30^th.

About Rishi Kumar

He is a bright, next-generation leader and a "rising star" in American politics. Rishi s a Silicon Valley hi-tech senior software executive, former IBMer, two-term Saratoga City Councilmember and has been an involved Silicon Valley community leader for more than a decade now, a strong political regional leader, and with a "Getting Things Done" platform delivered strong success on many fronts. Isn't it about time we got a hi-tech executive who understands tech intimately, leading SIlicon Valley in United States Congress?

Rishi will be a special addition to Congress - he lives and breathes the Silicon Valley Tech industry, bringing a strong nexus of tech, politics and community. As I mentioned before, I find Rishi very approachable and really connects well with people. He is there to serve and help people - that is his agenda!

As you know, Rishi got the most votes in Saratoga's election history last year. Rishi got it done for Saratoga! Rishi rallied the community to protest San Jose Water's rate increases, rolling out a water protest app as part of the innovative process , and many rate increase proposals were rejected, reduced or suspended benefiting a million people of Silicon Valley. As Saratoga's councilmember, Rishi stemmed the tide on increasing burglaries by building awareness and establishing some interesting and innovative measures that dropped burglaries 47% - the largest drop compared to any other comparable Silicon Valley city.

Please join this fundraiser event to meet Rishi and discuss solutions to tackle our increasing burglaries, housing and traffic woes, along with other challenges such as burgeoning healthcare/drug prices, and a declining education system. There is a significant quality of life challenges that our citizens are facing centered around housing and transportation challenges. How can we together address the challenges of today's world, while building a better vision for tomorrow?

Bring your policy ideas, bring your children to get them inspired and bring your enthusiasm. Rishi deserves your support!

Looking forward to meeting you,

Regards,

Deepika & Ajay
