CHICAGO: The bid by Raja Krishnamoorthi to seek Congressional seat from Illinois District-8 has begun getting boost and big momentum with many prominent Democrats – both Americans and Indian Americans – lining up behind him offering support to his candidacy.
State Senator Dan Kotowski (D-28th District) and dozens of local Democratic leaders and activists have announced their support of Raja Krishnamoorthi’s candidacy to replace Rep. Tammy Duckworth in Congress.
“Raja offers meaningful solutions to protect working families and shares my commitment to help people in our community achieve the American Dream,” said Kotowski, a Democrat whose state legislative district includes parts of the 8th Congressional District of Illinois.
Kotowski’s district includes Arlington Heights, Des Plaines, Elk Grove Village, Hanover Park, Hoffman Estates, Mount Prospect, Park Ridge, Rolling Meadows, Roselle and Schaumburg.
Kotowski has worked to bring a new era of reform, transparency and accountability to Illinois state government. He successfully passed legislation to protect taxpayers through the posting of government contracts on the Internet, and he sponsored landmark legislation to create new penalties for officials convicted of public corruption.
“I am honored to have Sen. Kotowski’s support,” Krishnamoorthi said. “He is a tireless advocate for working families throughout much of the 8th Congressional District.”
Krishnamoorthi, 41 has also got big support from many local Democrats and organizations including Ken Christy, President of Illinois Letter Carriers, Frank Avila, Commissioner, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, Mike Alvarez, Commissioner, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District .S.
