IL-06, 12 & 13: Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D) Helps Democrats Make Some Big Gains In Illinois

Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Tammy DuckWorth (D. IL):

We've been working overtime to hold the Trump administration accountable for their actions. With Republicans in control of Congress, it's a pretty tall order.

But if Democrats take back the House in November, it'll get a whole lot easier to slam the door on Trump's absurd agenda.

Today, I want to introduce you to three Democrats in Illinois who can help make sure that happens: Sean Casten, Brendan Kelly, and Betsy Dirksen Londrigan.

Sean, Brendan, and Betsy are all running against Republican incumbents, and they'll need every dime of grassroots support to win. Can you chip in $5 or more to help them?

Here's a little more on these exceptional Democrats.

Sean Casten, Illinois 6th congressional district

Sean isn't your average candidate. He has degrees in biochemistry and biochemical engineering. He's a business owner, engineer, and scientist. He's also a husband and father of two daughters.

A lot of politicians like to throw around the word "problem-solver," but Sean embodies what that phrase really means. He knows how to look at a problem from all angles and find solutions. He wants to take that methodology and apply it to fixing the problems facing Illinois families.

Brendan Kelly, Illinois 12th congressional district

As a fellow Veteran and State's Attorney, Brendan has been serving the families of Illinois and this country for years.

Brendan was named "Southern Illinois Prosecutor of the Year" for his commitment and passion for justice. Like many of us, he's sick of watching politicians serve themselves instead of the people who elect them. He wants to change that -- and I think we should help him.

Betsy Dirksen Londrigan, Illinois 13th congressional district

For Betsy, the decision to run was incredibly personal -- and it's one that any mother, including myself, can relate to.

When her son was 12, he contracted a rare, life-threatening condition. He spent 24 days in the hospital. Luckily, Betsy's family had the insurance to cover her son's care. And when she saw her now-opponent, Rep. Davis, actually celebrating the passage of Trump's health care plan -- a plan that would rip health care from millions of Americans -- Betsy knew she had to run.

Betsy is committed to fighting for families just like hers. Help Betsy's campaign with a contribution of $5 or more >>

Thanks for helping out these three incredible candidates. Together, we can help them win and help Democrats take back the House.

Thank you for your help,

Tammy
