Raja Update 7.22.21

 

Dear Sandeep,

We hope all is well with you and your family, and that you are safe and healthy.

This past week Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi spoke with WGN Radio about his push for a tax on e-cigarettes. "Unfortunately there's a national youth vaping epidemic. One out of every five high schoolers are vaping, even five percent of middle schoolers are vaping. I believe that we need this, not only from a sense of parity since we already tax cigarettes, but from a sense of how do we discourage youth from taking up e-cigarettes and getting hooked on a lifetime of nicotine."

The Congressman also appeared on Chicago Tonight to discuss the work Congress is doing on a bi-partisan infrastructure package. "I feel confident that there's a lot of momentum for getting this done. I'm really looking forward to seeing the bi-partisan package emerge, and quite frankly my constituents are demanding such a package as well."

Last week, CBS wrote about the push for improved kids car seat standards that Congressman Krishnamoorthi has been leading the fight on. "Parents are relying on companies to sell safe products and they're relying on the federal government to regulate those products, and unfortunately, neither of those two things happened and that is disgraceful."

We will continue to bring you news about Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi's work in D.C. and Illinois.
