Big win for PIO |
Indian-American Raja Krishnamoorthi, who was an adviser in President Barack Obama’s 2008 poll campaign, has registered a big win in the Democratic Congressional primary in Illinois by defeating the state senator. His win brightens the chance of yet another person of Indian-origin to be elected to the US House of Representatives in the November general elections. Born in New Delhi, 42-year-old Krishnamoorthi, an attorney and entrepreneur, polled 57% of the votes in the eighth Congressional District of Illinois as against his two other rivals state senator Mike Noland (29%) and Deb Bullwinkel (13%).
