Raja Update 11/14

 

Dear Sandeep,

This past Tuesday, Congressman Raja was re-elected to a fourth term in the United States Congress. He is extraordinarily grateful that the voters of Illinois' 8th District have chosen him to keep fighting for all of our shared values in Congress. The Congressman thanks you for your incredible support. He looks forward to making further progress on the issues that affect all of us: expanding higher education opportunities, getting everyone on the up-escalator of the economy, combating inflation, increasing public safety, preserving women's reproductive freedom, strengthening our democracy, and so much more.

Recently, CBS News reported on Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi's work as Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Economic and Consume Policy to identify failures in the organ transplant system. The Congressman told reporters that "[17] to 20 people a day die on the waitlist because they can't get organs, and the OPOs [organ procurement organizations] are just not recovering enough organs and making sure they're getting into people who need them..." The Subcommittee raised questions about the integrity and completeness of the data presented, and Congressman Raja further said that, "If you don't have proper data, then you don't know what organs exist and are usable to go into people who need them." 

The latest development in the government's investigation of wrongdoing into the NFL's Washington Commanders' is that Karl Racine, the Attorney General for the District of Columbia, announced a lawsuit against Dan Snyder, the Washington Commanders, the NFL, and Commissioner Roger Goodell, citing their "deception" regarding an investigation into the organization regarding workplace misconduct and sexual harassment. The initial investigation, led by Congressman Raja, uncovered evidence that the franchise " ... may have engaged in a troubling, long-running, and potentially unlawful pattern of financial conduct that may have victimized thousands of team fans and the National Football League."

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