Indian American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi was awarded the 2023 Public Officials Award by the Water Environment Federation (WEF), a Virginia-based nonprofit that provides water quality professionals worldwide access to the most current water quality education, training, and business prospects.
The award recognizes the lawmaker for his “documented, significant contribution in the areas of clean water legislation, public policy, government service, or another area of public prominence that resulted in improvements to the water environment.”
Krishnamoorthi was commended for his efforts and advocacy in promoting water safety, notably for his support of initiatives such as the Great Lakes Restoration Act, the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) Action Act, and various local water projects funded through the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
“I want to thank the Water Environment Federation for the honor of the 2023 Public Officials Award and for their continued efforts to improve water quality across the country and the world,” Rep.Krishnamoorthi said.
“Clean water is essential to a strong and functioning society, and since 1928, WEF has prioritized training its professionals in the field to make healthy and safe water a reality for everyone. I look forward to continuing to work with WEF and my colleagues in Congress to make critical investments in the water infrastructure on which we all depend,” he added.
The Public Officials Award is bestowed upon an elected or appointed public official who has demonstrated a notable and documented contribution in fields such as clean water legislation, public policy, government service, or other areas of public prominence, ultimately leading to enhancements in the water environment.
