Raja Update 12/27

 

Dear Sandeep,

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

This week, the Congressman appeared on WTTW's Chicago Tonight program. When asked about President Biden's efforts to mail half a billion at-home COVID tests to citizens next month Congressman Krishnamoorthi said that "It's a good measure.. I quite frankly would have liked to see it earlier... We have yet to undertake a significant global vaccination campaign. Three of my relatives died in India due to Delta, and at that time I had initiated legislation to appropriate a lot of money to help vaccinate the rest of the world - a modest amount compared to the economic chaos it wreaked on the United States and other places - we didn't do that... We're just inviting the next Greek lettered variant to do the same, we have got to learn our lesson and help to vaccinate those underserved that can't get vaccinations on their own." 

As the investigation of alleged discrimination by the Washington Football Team managment continues, Congressman Krishnamoorthi maintains that the "deeply disturbing" behavior warrants the NFL divulding further information. The Congressman told ESPN that "They've been producing documents; they've been doing it on a regular basis... But what we learned yesterday only points to the need for a lot more information from them... I'd like them to step up the volume and the nature of the documents... This information will come out one way or another. We're seeing people produce these documents and information to the press... so it's getting out there, and so the question is do they want to produce it themselves and explain what happened or is it going to come out another way?

As the holiday season comes to a close this week, supporters put together a "highlight reel" that you can view here, showcasing Congressman Krishnamoorthi's efforts to fight for his constituents in Illinois and citizens across the country through media appearances, congressional hearings, and unrelenting advocacy for the disadvantaged. 

 

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