Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill, received the endorsement of the Chicago Tribune, Oct. 17.

The Tribune’s Editorial Board wrote: “Krishnamoorthi, who is seeking his fifth term, told us that what matters most to his constituents is ‘the ability for themselves and their family to achieve economic freedom and access to the middle class, which includes ensuring that Medicare and Social Security are solvent in order to secure their future,'” and that Congressman Raja “believes education is the key to class mobility.”

They concluded by explaining that their choice “remains Krishnamoorthi, 51, a smart and intellectually sophisticated member of the House Intelligence Committee and a rising figure in national politics whom we have previously endorsed,” further explaining that they “find the incumbent a detail-oriented representative known for stellar service to his constituents and very much in tune with this nation’s problems and assets.”

Krishnamoorthi was endorsed earlier this week, by The Daily Herald.
