(it's about Raja...)

In 2016,
I made a Mistake...

In 2016, I not only voted for Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, I actually volunteered for him! Unfortunately, like many members of our community,
I was disappointed to see Raja abandon the issues that got him elected once we sent him to Washington.

Who's Raja? Let me paint you a picture...

Since being elected, Raja lost his way:

  • He’s been CORRUPTED, having taken millions from corporate PACs.
  •  
  • He’s been INEFFECTIVE, having a measly 2% success rate while raising over $13 million in campaign cash.
  •  
  • He’s been DISHONEST, having hidden his ties to conservative Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Who needs Republicans when we have Raja?

Since his election to office in 2016, Raja has taken money from the darkest corners of our democracy.

 

Rather than fight for lower drug and and gas prices, Raja has taken millions of dollars from big Pharma[1], the oil lobby[2] and corporate PACs.

 

He has also accepted donations from the Military Industrial Complex’s top-brass in companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman, calling into question Raja’s commitment to peace.[3][4]

Check the facts:

$13 million raised... and for WHAT?!

Since taking office, Raja has only earned a 2% success rate in passing his proposed legislation.

 

But he’s raised more money than every other member of Congress (including Republicans… even more money than Speaker Pelosi).[1]

Check the facts:

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree...

Shockingly enough, Raja and conservative Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh were law partners at Kirkland and Ellis in the early 2000’s.[1][2][3] When you think about it, suddenly Raja’s ineffectiveness in office makes sense.

 

He comes from the same political machine that supports corporate political figures like Kavanaugh. These people consistently sacrifice the needs of the people for secure support from corporate donors.[4]
