Raja Krishnamoorthi, an Indian-American Democrat in fray for election to the U.S. House of Representatives, has won a crucial endorsement from President Barack Obama, who said being “the son of immigrants” he understands challenges facing America’s working families. Mr. Krishnamoorthi (42) had served Obama as issues director in the President’s successful U.S. Senate campaign in 2004.
Mr. Krishnamoorthi is in the fray for this year’s open-seat race in the 8th Congressional District of Illinois that includes west and northwest Chicago suburbs.
