Schakowsky Statement on CBS’s Survivor 49 Cast

August 20, 2025

EVANSTON - Today, U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (IL-09), released the following statement regarding her communications director, Alex Moore, appearing as a contestant on the upcoming season of the CBS reality show Survivor:

“Apparently, surviving the Republican majority in Congress was not a strong enough test for Alex! I could not be prouder of him for being cast on the upcoming season of Survivor, a truly once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

“I remember well the first time I met Alex. It was seven years ago at a local community event, and he was a young summer intern at the time. Alex was dressed in a full suit and had a huge smile on his face. He looked so professional; I almost mistook him for a fellow government official! Since that summer day back in 2018, Alex has blossomed into one of my most trusted senior advisors. I am confident that he brought the same heart, hustle, and strategy to the island that he brings to our office every day.

“Just remember, Alex, no matter what happened out there, Team Schakowsky has our popcorn ready and will be rooting for you all season long!”
