Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) announced on May 7 he is running for Senate to succeed Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.).

In a campaign video, Krishnamoorthi said he is running for Senate “to restore women’s freedom to make their own health decisions, to keep guns away from people who shouldn’t have them, to keep these extremists from gutting vital programs like Medicaid that help people, and to stop the chaos driving up costs.”
