Raja Update 9/26

 

Dear Friend,

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

This week, Congressman Raja appeared on Fox News to respond to House Republicans' proposed 'Commitment to America' agenda ahead of the 2022 midterms. "I think that some of it is stuff that we can collaborate on, but on the other hand, I don't see an effort to lower prescription drug prices. Quite the contrary, we're hearing they want to reverse what we've done in the Inflation Reduction Act. Also I'm not seeing the effort that I'm pushing on a bipartisan basis to ban the trading of individual stocks by members of Congress—we have to end insider trading and hold government accountable. And third, I'm not seeing an effort to push skills-based and vocational education as a viable option for Americans, two-thirds of whom don't go to college." 

On Sunday, Congressman Raja joined Yasmin Vossoughian on MSNBC to discuss the future of the January 6th investigation. When asked for his thoughts on the pace of DOJ's investigation of January 6th, the Congressman replied, "I just think they haven't gone fast enough, and now's the time to put the pedal to the metal. We have an election coming up, and if there's a different composition in the Congress and they decide they want to stymie this investigation, they can do so through different means, and we will not have gotten as far as we should with the investigation."

On Wednesday, Congressman Raja joined Lisa Dent on WGN Radio to discuss the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Donald Trump's financial records. The committee received documents that showed Trump overstated his assets to banks to qualify for loans, and understated his assets to the IRS to pay less in taxes.   

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