Radical Raja Krishnamoorthi

Raja is trying to convince you he's a common-sense, moderate candidate. But when you look at Radical Raja's record, it's clear he's just another career politician who says one thing and does another.

Illinois working families can't afford another extreme politician.

Radical Progressive

When launching his campaign, Raja called himself a "radical progressive."

Raja has backed some of the most progressive politicians in the country, including Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Career Politician

Raja is an ambitious career politician. He started in politics in 2000, then was appointed by powerful politicians to multiple Illinois government positions, and is now in his 8th campaign for public office.

Shut Down the Government

Raja led the charge to shut down the government and withhold pay from our troops and law enforcement in order to gain "political leverage."

Exploding the Deficit

Raja voted repeatedly to massively increase government spending, exploding the deficit and creating the inflation crisis. Now, in his Senate campaign, he is proposing an economic plan estimated to cost over $7 trillion over the next 10 years, which will further increase inflation.

Increasing Costs for Working Families

Raja has actively increased the cost-of-living for working families:

  • He has actively opposed domestic energy production and a common-sense all-of-the-above approach to energy in favor of an extreme green agenda that has caused energy bills to skyrocket.
  • He is a staunch defender of the current broken healthcare system and has opposed efforts to reduce health insurance and healthcare costs.
  • He has repeatedly voted against tax relief for working families and seniors, opposed eliminating taxes on tips and overtime, and attempted to increase taxes on small businesses, manufacturers, and farmers.
Protecting Waste, Fraud and Abuse

Raja has refused to support efforts to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in federal programs, risking funding in programs like Medicaid and SNAP for those who need it most.

Most Ineffective in Congress

Raja is one of the most ineffective members of Congress, passing only four bills in his decade in the House of Representatives. Those four bills were each to rename a post office.

100% With Biden

While claiming to be bipartisan, Raja voted with President Joe Biden 100% of the time.

Cook County's Candidate

Raja is from Cook County, as are all other statewide elected officials with Dick Durbin retiring. If Raja gets elected, the other 101 counties in Illinois will not have representation.
