Raja Krishnamoorthi Sole Indian-American Lawmaker Supporting Russia Sanctions Bill
Indian-American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi was the only one among six Indian-American House Democrats to vote in favor of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning of Russia and Iran Act, which passed 262-159. The bill imposes up to 100% tariffs on the top buyers of Russian oil and gas, potentially affecting countries like India and China. Krishnamoorthi, who will retire in January, met with a Ukrainian advocacy group before the vote, emphasizing support for Ukraine's sovereignty. The other five Indian-American Democrats voted against the bill, following party lines.
