A coalition of Latino elected officials, business owners, and community leaders from across Illinois gathered May 28, 2025, under the Little Village Arch to endorse Raja Krishnamoorthi for the U.S. Senate.
Chaired by former Congressman Luis Gutiérrez (IL-04), the coalition is committed to mobilizing their communities to send Raja to the U.S. Senate. Speakers at today’s event chanted “¡Raja no se raja!” or “Raja doesn’t back down,” citing his record of delivering for Illinois families.
“Raja has spent his entire career fighting to better the lives of working families in Illinois. Raja’s lived experience, unflinching advocacy for the underserved, and tireless work ethic are all reasons that I’m proud to support his candidacy for the U.S. Senate,” Gutierrez is quoted saying in the press release. “Raja has proven time and again that he is the fighter that Illinois’s Latino community needs and, once elected, I know that he will deliver results!”

“These leaders represent the very best of our community: the dreamers and the doers who will do whatever it takes to support themselves, their families, and their neighbors. I was honored to stand alongside them today under the iconic Little Village Arch, and once elected to the U.S. Senate, I look forward to working with them to deliver for all Illinois communities. Together, we will ensure that every family has the opportunity to realize the American Dream,” said Krishnamoorthi.
Other leaders echoed the same sentiments including Commissioner George Cardenas and Schaumburg Assessor-Elect Victor Morales.
Krishnamoorthi is seeking to fill the seat that is being vacated by Sen. Dick Durbin who has declared he will not be running for re-election on Nov. 3, 2026.
