------------------------------------------------------------
** for U.S. Senate
------------------------------------------------------------
The Asian American Action Fund (AAAFund) is proud to endorse Raja Krishnamoorthi for U.S. Senate (IL)
On the candidate:
* Raja grew up in Illinois, where his family relied on food stamps and public housing—an experience that shaped his lifelong commitment to expanding opportunity for working families.
* He currently represents Illinois’s 8th Congressional District, where he’s become a national leader on workforce development, economic security, and national defense.
* He has led bipartisan efforts to strengthen U.S. manufacturing and technology competitiveness, hold Big Tech and Big Pharma accountable, and ensure that every family can share in America’s prosperity.
On the state:
* Illinois is home to one of the largest AAPI populations in the Midwest, contributing billions to the state’s economy.
* The open Senate race represents a historic opportunity for South Asian American representation at the highest levels of government.
Albert Shen, AAAFund National Chair, reflecting on what’s at stake in 2026, says Raja is the kind of leader this moment demands:
“Raja brings both integrity and impact to everything he does. As a Congressman, he’s delivered results for Illinois families, fought to strengthen our economy and national security, and championed opportunity for every community. His leadership and vision embody what’s needed in this pivotal moment for our democracy, and AAAFund is proud to stand with him as he makes history for Illinois and AAPI Americans nationwide.”

The Asian American Action Fund works through a holistic approach of expanding the Democratically-aligned AAPI voter base while helping the Democratic Party understand our political community. We recognize the need to build up local AAPI support for Democrats, mature and finance the pipeline of AAPI candidates, political operatives, and organizers, and elect Democratically-aligned AAPIs and allies to federal office.
