Congressman Krishnamoorthi Recognized As A Champion Of Compromise And Productive Engagement In Congress By The Common Ground Committee

WASHINGTON – Based on an analysis of his record in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has been recognized by the Common Ground Committee as a Common Ground Champion who "seeks points of agreement and solutions on social and political issues through listening and productive conversation." With a top 4% score on the Common Ground Score Card's evaluation of his official performance, personal actions, communications, and commitments, Congressman Krishnamoorthi has demonstrated his dedication to working against the plague of polarized thinking and governance among elected officials and their constituents by working to overcome gridlock and contributing to "a private discourse that builds understanding and public discourse that uncovers common ground through passionate but civil debate where facts are valued and participants listen to each other."

"I am honored to be recognized by the Common Ground Committee for my approach to working with colleagues, regardless of party, to address the challenges facing our country. While I believe it is essential that we approach the business of the American people with a clear recognition that we can disagree without being disagreeable, we also need to deliver results. Even beyond the value of constructive engagement for its own sake, a bipartisan, collaborative approach is also the most effective one for serving my constituents."
