Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Illinois’ 8th district since 2017, shared a series of statements on social media addressing international and domestic issues. Born in New Delhi, India, in 1973, Krishnamoorthi moved to Schaumburg and holds degrees from Princeton University and Harvard University.

On January 25, 2025, Congressman Krishnamoorthi commented on the geopolitical situation involving Russia and Ukraine. He stated that "Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was not Volodymyr Zelensky’s fault." He expressed concern about America's global reputation if its leaders encourage allies to yield to authoritarian regimes without resistance.

The following day, January 26, 2025, he addressed concerns over national health policy by stating that "Pausing critical communication between American health agencies is remarkably dangerous and irresponsible." This comment reflects his stance on maintaining robust communication channels within health-related government entities.

On January 27, 2025, Congressman Krishnamoorthi marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day with a solemn message honoring the victims of the Holocaust. He noted that "we honor and remember the six million Jews and millions of others who were senselessly killed due to antisemitism, hate, and bigotry." His statement serves as a reminder of historical atrocities and the ongoing need to combat hatred.
