Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has spent his life standing up to bullies. A product of public housing, food stamps, and Illinois public schools, Raja’s leading the charge to fight back against Donald Trump and Elon Musk as they create economic chaos for Illinois families.
Raja’s record of standing up for the underdog speaks for itself. In Congress, Raja has taken on price-gouging Big Pharma and gun manufacturers. He’s held the tobacco and vaping industries accountable, fought to make baby food safer, and stood up to Big Tech. And Raja’s even taking on his colleagues in Washington who use their position for profit, working to root out corruption and ban stock trading by Members of Congress because he believes government should work for the people, not the powerful.
As someone who grew up in a family living from paycheck to paycheck, Raja knows that the chaos and uncertainty of Donald Trump’s economic policies are devastating for everyday people just trying to get by. That’s why he’s fighting to protect seniors’ Social Security and Medicare, safeguard the benefits that our veterans have earned, defend public education, and invest in job training programs so that everyone has the opportunity to realize the American Dream. And, unlike Trump, Raja believes deeply in the rule of law.
Here in Illinois, we take care of each other, and now more than ever, Illinois needs a Senator who will stand up for working families, defend our values, and protect our state from the chaos of Donald Trump — whatever it takes. The son of immigrants, Raja won’t stand by when Trump targets immigrants, abandons working people, bullies LGBTQ kids, or rips away women’s reproductive rights.
A proud husband and dad of three, Raja Krishnamoorthi is running for the U.S. Senate to ensure that every Illinois family – regardless of who they are, where they live, or how many letters are in their last name – has the chance to work hard and succeed.
