The Senate needs more trailblazing moms

 

I’m reaching out to ask you to support Cheri Beasley’s campaign to flip North Carolina’s open Senate seat and my reelection this November.

You know as well as I do that it’s so important that we protect and expand Democrats’ majority, and North Carolina is one of our best opportunities to do that. But the truth is that who we elect also matters, and I firmly believe we need more moms like Cheri and me in the Senate.

If we’re going to continue making real progress for our military and working families, then I need Cheri Beasley working alongside me in the Senate. So I am asking:Re-election today? These are must-win races for Democrats if we’re going to stop Mitch McConnell and his cronies from retaking the Senate.

Members of my family have served this nation in uniform during every period of conflict since the Revolution. I followed in their footsteps to become one of the first handful of women to serve as a helicopter pilot in Iraq.

But 18 years ago, an RPG explosion took down my Black Hawk over Iraq, costing me both of my legs. But even as I was drifting in and out of consciousness, my buddies were doing all they could to bring me to safety. I would not be in the U.S. Senate today without their heroism.

What I’ve learned serving this nation — on the battlefield and in the Senate — is that no individual person can overcome every obstacle alone. To take on tough challenges, it takes a team of people working together. That’s why Cheri and I are both counting on folks like you to help us win our races.

It would mean a lot to me, on a personal level, to know you have my and Cheri’s backs during what is sure to be a difficult campaign, Frank.

If you can, please split a contribution between Cheri Beasley’s campaign and my re-election today to help us protect and expand the Senate majority. There’s too much on the line this year to take anything for granted.

I’ve gotten to know Cheri personally, and I know she will be a fierce advocate for you and your families. She’s dedicated her life to serving others and we’d be lucky to have such an incredible champion for our military and working families in the U.S. Senate.

All my best,

Tammy Duckworth
U.S. Senator, Illinois
