Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, representing Illinois' 8th district since 2017, recently shared his thoughts on infrastructure and governance through a series of tweets. Born in New Delhi, India, and residing in Schaumburg, Krishnamoorthi has an educational background from Princeton University and Harvard University. His posts reflect his ongoing efforts to improve transportation infrastructure around O'Hare Airport and uphold the integrity of government agencies.

On November 25, 2024, Congressman Krishnamoorthi expressed his personal connection to the challenges faced by those traveling near O'Hare Airport. He stated: "Like so many people living near O’Hare, I know firsthand how frustrating traveling around the airport can be. That’s why I have fought so hard for the Elgin O’Hare Western Access project and visited it this morning. I can’t wait to see the impact it will have once completed!"

The following day, on November 26, he addressed concerns about maintaining impartial oversight within government agencies: "We depend on inspectors general to serve as watchdogs for our agencies. Any effort to replace them with partisan appointees or drive them out based on loyalty tests should be rejected by all Americans."

Later that evening, Krishnamoorthi highlighted the economic benefits of improved access to O'Hare Airport: "Direct access to O’Hare will spur economic development in our communities and cut travel time for the millions of Illinoisans who live around the airport. Investments in our infrastructure are game changers, and that's why I'm fighting for them."
