Raja Update 11/22/2021

 

Dear Sandeep,

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

This week, the Congressman joined Rachel Maddow on MSNBC to discuss the announcement that President Joe Biden intends to nominate two new members of the U.S. Postal Service board, removing key allies of Trump postmaster general Louis DeJoy, an action that the Congressman has been vocal about in recent months. Congressman Krishnamoorthi commented, "My pleas came from my constituents. We've received more complaints, thousands of complaints, about mail delivery and raised prices than perhaps any other issue." 

Congressman Krishnamoorthi also spoke to Alex Witt on MSNBC about the Build Back Better bill this week, highlighting leading economist's view that its implementation will lead to lower inflation and a stronger workforce. "When you invest in worker training, provisions that I've authored, when you help moms with affordable childcare so they can participate in the workforce for instance, then you have more workers and you have more skilled workers to fill the labor shortages we have. You have more goods and services and over time it leads to lower prices," the Congressman said. 

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment And Jobs Act signed into law by President Biden this week included anti-distracted driving legislation introduced by Congressman Krishnamoorthi. The new law addresses a vital safety issue that the Congressman has focused on for yearsand will help ensure more states are able to access critical funding to enforce distracted driving laws and educate drivers in order to improve road safety. "I'm proud that President Biden signed our SAFE TO DRIVE Act into law as part of the bipartisan infrastructure package so that it can immediately help start saving lives," said Congressman Krishnamoorthi. "The investments that the new infrastructure law makes in our roadways are essential, and our legislation will help to keep American families safe as they use them. We know that these deaths from distracted driving are preventable, so let's prevent them."

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