Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, representing Illinois' 8th district since 2017, recently shared his views on various issues through a series of tweets. Known for his advocacy and service-oriented approach, Krishnamoorthi addressed topics ranging from political integrity to healthcare improvements and anti-hunger programs.

On February 13, 2025, Congressman Krishnamoorthi expressed concerns about the historical issues of "scandal, corruption, and self-serving politicians" in Illinois. He emphasized the need for public service to focus on serving the people rather than pursuing power. He stated, "For too long, our state has been marked by scandal, corruption, and self-serving politicians who will do anything for power. It’s a new day in Illinois, and we won’t go back to the days of Blagojevich or Madigan. Public service must be about just that — serving the people."

Later that day at 20:24 UTC, Krishnamoorthi tweeted about his participation in a discussion with the American Medical Association. He noted it was a pleasure to engage in talks aimed at supporting physicians and patients to enhance the healthcare system. He remarked, "It was a pleasure to join the American Medical Association to talk about how we can support physicians and patients to improve our health care system."

At 21:42 UTC on February 13th, he addressed potential cuts to anti-hunger programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). Highlighting its importance for millions of American families including his own during challenging times, he declared opposition against such reductions. His statement read: "We will fight tooth and nail to prevent this from happening... SNAP has helped tens of millions of American families, including my own... Slashing anti-hunger programs would harm millions of our neighbors."
