Raja Krishnamoorthi Praised & Endorsed Tim Walz. Where Does He Stand Now?
SPRINGFIELD — This morning, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota announced that he's dropping his bid for a third term as governor in response to revelations of a massive fraud scandal connected to his state’s welfare assistance programs.
In response, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Don Tracy today questioned the judgment of Raja Krishnamoorthi, who praised and endorsed Walz.
“Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi called Tim Walz an ‘exceptional public servant’ and endorsed him for Vice President of the United States," said Tracy. "Now we’re learning that massive fraud has occurred under Walz’s watch. How does career politician Raja feel about Walz now?”
Don Tracy is available for phone, video, and in-studio interviews on this topic.
