Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Illinois, who is running for re-election this November, was endorsed by a major newspaper, The Daily Herald, October 13, 2024.

“Since his first election to Congress in 2016, Schaumburg Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi has been a hard-working, dedicated representative for the 8th District, and he has steadily grown in skill and in stature over the years,” The Daily Herald’s editorial board wrote.

“Moderate in temperament and on policy, he emphasizes a commitment to bipartisanship and consistently demonstrates openness to respectful dialogue on issues ranging from immigration to foreign policy and economic affairs, while steadfastly defending his own positions,” the newspaper added.

The Editorial Board continued, “on immigration, he argues Congress must undertake comprehensive long-term policy reform and, along the way to that, firmly supports the Lankford compromise bill that got stymied by politics earlier this year.”

“On economics, he advocates for spending controls and careful appropriation of resources, and is ranking member of a House panel — the Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party — with the ability to influence policy involving our nation’s largest competitor…..”

The paper also notes, “He has been aggressive and legislatively successful in the effort to reduce vaping among young people and created the bipartisan Congressional Caucus to End the Youth Vaping Epidemic.”

The Editorial Board concluded, “while he is articulate and influential in all these areas and more, Krishnamoorthi also takes pains to tout his staff’s success in responding to problems raised by constituents in the 8th District….He gets our strong endorsement.”
