Raja Expected To Shift His Senate Primary War Chest To New PACIndia-West News DeskCHICAGO, IL – Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) is shifting his massive fundraising apparatus toward a new hybrid political action committee to back other Democrats as he prepares to exit Congress. The political pivot comes four months after Krishnamoorthi’s highly competitive loss in the March Democratic primary for US Senator Dick Durbin’s open seat. Federal Election Commission filings reveal that Raja’s remaining personal Senate campaign fund holds $74,587.81, according to the Chicago Sun Times. Also, that the new committee is starting with immense leverage, holding $2,369,758.26 in cash on hand at the end of June. While Krishnamoorthi is stepping away from his own congressional seat after nine years in Washington, the launch of Equal Opportunity Now keeps his national donor networks intact.
